I’ve been greatly helped by the many pruning videos. Thank you! My question is what to do with a 2-3 year old bareroot tree that is about 6 feet tall and just a central leader with only two scaffold branches. I’m not clear on how to help it form more branches or if it is too late. It is a dwarf variety also.

Great to hear the videos are helpful. Best to wait until winter dormancy (most or all of the leaves have dropped off) to prune your tree. Winter pruning tends to stimulate growth and that's what you want to do with a young tree - make it grow! Below is a link to several dozen more fruit tree care videos. Scroll down to the section called: “Getting Started with Fruit Trees Organically”: agroecology.ucsc.edu/resources/instructional-videos.html There are lots of videos on pruning and you'll find a couple on how to prune newly planted apple trees - some are "whips" with no branches and some have lots of branches. Orin explains how to prune both shapes. Don't miss Orin Martin's award winning book, "Fruit Trees for Every Garden: An Organic Approach to Growing Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Citrus, and More". His book won the 2020 American Horticultural Society (AHS) Award, recognizing outstanding gardening literature.

I just realized I'm probably making a big mistake by planting corn around my young fruit trees.
