Question:

Should I prune this tree at all?? It's looking pretty good & healthy as it is. Also, I removed flowers when the tee was very young and small (last year), the tree is currenlty flowering again - should I let it go to fruit this time?? I don't think the tree is big enough to support the amouint of fruit that it looks like it will get.
