Hello Comrade Gardeners, I wanted to make a thread where anyone could ask some quick questions regarding their gardening! Could be a simple troubleshoot question, or a quick query regarding composting, whatever it is as long as it's gardening!

I'm growing some lemon and pomegranate trees for fun. I'd like to guidance about pruning these young seedlings. Some of them are branching and I think I want to prune the branches. Reason being I want them to get taller before branching. I don't want lemon and pomegranate bushes lol.
Anyone got tips on young tree pruning? 🌳🌳🌳
I havnt ever done this with lemon or pomegranate but timing and technique are very important.
Cutting at an angle so that water doesnt pool on the cut end causing rot is important.
Timing as you dont want to cause undue stress during a crucial time. I pruned my plum & pears during winter dormancy.
Mine were full growth so I pruned branches that were out of reach when standing on the ground as well as any intersecting branches and any below the lowest/thickest branches.
