Dwarf Peach tree (Ice Peach) pruning
in Fruit & veg
Hello,
We bought a young dwarf peach tree earlier in the year and had it in a container on the patio. We decided to plant it in the garden as we had space and it was getting to big for the patio and I've been informed that it should be pruned to keep it healthy and get it ready for next year. Does anyone know what I should be pruning? I've attached a photo of it currently.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm assuming the same applies to nectarines as I have 2 dwarf ones currently in pots but due to be planted out when we've built a fruit cage and beds.
