Hand Pruners or Electric? I Put Them to The Test in My Orchard | Pomes and Stone

In this video, I walk through four different pruning techniques I use in our high-density apple orchard, showing how each approach changes depending on the tree type and stage of growth. From younger blocks to more established trees, this video breaks down how I’m making pruning decisions in real time and why each cut matters for structure, light, and long-term productivity.
I’m also testing out a new tool this season thanks to Peach Ridge Orchard Supply, who provided an INFACO electric pruner for this video. To really show the difference, I run a timed comparison between traditional hand pruners and the INFACO, highlighting the efficiency, speed, and reduced fatigue that electric pruners can bring to a high-density operation.
Whether you’re managing high-density apples, thinking about upgrading your pruning tools, or just curious how pruning strategies change as trees mature, this video gives a practical, in-orchard look at what’s working for us and why.
