Hi Redlitchie,

Sorry no one has replied, maybe we don't have an apple tree expert on here.

I'm no expert, but have found this by the RHS on summer pruning of trained fruit trees, which seems to fit the bill....

 RHS Advice

As for re-potting, my gut instinct say late autumn/early winter, when the tree has done all it's going to do and is dormant.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
