Here is where my question comes in, now that winter is finally set in here in full force and the leaves are all gone, and i can clearly see the branches, do i need to do any pruning on it? I have heard of fruit trees growing \"suckers\" and \"Water sprouts\", and im not too talented at identifying these yet. Im also wondering if i should even prune at all given the stresses that the plant endured via the deer and being transplanted? Im including some close ups of the main stem to hopefully show where some of the graft points are, and if there are things that need to be pruned out (given that it should be pruned at all), for you to point them out to me.
