I'd trace those extra long shoots back to their origins and cut them off completely. They sound like suckers, which are non-productive. Suckers are vigorous growing stems and are usually thicker than the rest of the branches, with larger leaves. I'd prune them off completely so they don't overtake your tree. Best wishes with your apricot tree! |
