Arthur Turner Maiden advice please

Hi All,

Just taken delivery of 1 year bare root maiden tree, should  it be pruned after planting or left for a season?  There is a leader and four side branches.

Mike.

Thanks new shoot,

The branches look much longer which makes me think the tree has not been pruned before dispatch.  Should pruning as described in the article be done at planting? or leave for tree to get established before the pruning 'shock'?

Mike.
