For persimmons she usually cuts off all the branches that produced fruit this year and keeps only the new shoots. We don't have a producing apple tree yet, but with our asian pear, she says that you would count 5 leaf buds from the base of the branch then trim off the rest. Trimming off weak, thin and criss-crossing branches on any tree and creating good air circulation prevents diseases.
