Is apple wood good for burning in a wood stove I'm pruning my huge apple trees and wonder if it is worth it to keep the branches over the winter and cut it up for firewood?

Some people think so but I would recommend that you sell it. Trust me, people like the smell of apple wood better than oak!
Large pieces of apple wood have value as lumber, but smaller pieces that you get from your branches are more practical to just burn. They do burn very well.

Can you prune during winter months?
Yes and no. You prune shrubs in January if that's the time of their regular pruning schedule. In that case, winter time pruning tends to be done in January.But pruning most definitely may be done if the rule of the letter 'd' applies. That means that shrubs can be pruned if they're damaged, dangerous or diseased.
Can hedges be trimmed in the winter?
Yes, some hedges can be trimmed in the winter even though no, others cannot. New deciduous hedges handle formative pruning in winter and maintenance pruning in summer whereas new evergreen hedges respond well to formative pruning in spring and maintenance pruning in summer. Winter pruning must be carried out on a dry, mild day and needs to prioritize removal of dead, diseased and overgrown parts.
Should shrubs be pruned in winter?
Yes and no, shrubs should and shouldn't be pruned in winter. They shouldn't be pruned if there isn't a problem. Generally, you can think of the rules of the letter 'D'. Do winter pruning if there's damage that must be corrected. Do it if there's a danger otherwise to people and property. Do it if there's a disease that must be stopped. And do it if it's due to be done in winter.Many shrubs do have pruning schedules that take place in winter. A busy time for pruning tends to be the transition months between winter and spring, in February and March. That's when it's due to be done.But that isn't always the case. Shrubs such as forsythia that bloom early shouldn't be pruned in winter. They flower on old wood, before the new spring growth. Any pruning for such early bloomers is due to be done after, not before, flowering.t isn't their regular pruning time. Many pruning schedules take place in the closing, transition months of February and March, between winter and spring. But other pruning schedules don't take place at that time at all. For example, shrubs such as forsythia that bloom early shouldn't be pruned in winter. They bloom on old wood, before new spring growth. So pruning them in winter

When is the best time to trim apple trees?
From December to February (northern hemisphere) apple trees should be pruned by cutting back branches by one-third of their length to just above an outward facing bud.actually the best time to prune apple trees is spring. most farmers do the pruning in winter simply because they don't have time to do it during spring and summer but winter pruning will mean your trees are more likely to contract fungal diseases and die. after picking the fruit and before the tree goes to sleep do some automn pruning to fix unwanted growth resulting from the spring pruning.additionally you need to think about what kind of growth you want and that will determine what kind of pruning is needed. if you cut each branch to a third the part left will thicken and sprout new shoots from the end creating a broom like growth. if you want fruit you need to let sun in the thick of the tree by removing obstruction, remove branches that grow strait up completely and leave the ones growing sideways. it you want the tree to get taller remove the lower branches and leave how ever many leaders growing up you want (most people go for 1-4, i prefer just the one). if you're removing branches thicher then half an inch diameter get some protective paint at a local gardening shop (tell them what you're going to do they'll know what i mean) and don't do the pruning on a damp day (increases fungal disease). good luck

When to start pruning after winter?
Proper pruning of trees and shrubs in your garden is one of the most important tasks of any gardener. Proper pruning means that timing is critical. Of course any trees or shrubs that have broken, diseased or dead limbs should be removed as soon as possible, but for regular maintenance, the following guidelines apply: Fruit trees: Prune in late winter or early spring before any buds begin to swell. Remove branches that are growing inward and all new sucker growth or limbs that are growing straight up. Sterilize pruners before switching to another tree to prevent spreading disease. Roses: Be sure to wear gloves when pruning roses! By late winter or very eary spring, all old shoots should be removed along with any very thin or spindly growth. Remove the canes that grow inward and leave anywhere from four to eight healthy canes. These can them be cut down to about 24 inches above the ground. Try to cut about an inch above a bud or strong shoot. Deciduous trees: Pruning for proper growth is not usually necessary however if your trees require shaping, this should be done in middle to late winter. Flowering type deciduous trees, such as a Dogwood, may be pruned lightly after flowering. Deciduous Shrubs: These should be pruned following flowering in the spring. Cut out any long or gangly branches and leave the limbs that lend to a pleasing overall shape. Evergreen trees: These do not generally require pruning unless they make up a hedge and pruning is necessary for shaping. The best time to prune is after the vigorous growth in the spring and early summer otherwise your pruning will be overgrown in a matter of weeks. Evergreen shrubs: Prune after late winter or early spring, generally after the shrub has produced cones or berries. Berry bushes: Prune in late fall or early winter after the last of the berries have been harvested. Remove dead branches and to keep shape, severe pruning is not recommended. Red Raspberries: Cut back all older (darker) canes in the late fall or early spring, leaving the younger green shoots or suckers to grow and produce fruit the following spring. Black raspberries do not sucker and will fruit on the older wood Grapes: Cut back in late fall after harvesting. European varieties require spur pruning. Train long branches as guides and then allow shoots or spurs from these guide branches to keep two buds each. The American variety, such as Concord, Delaware or Niagara, need cane pruning. So cut back all the long arms or canes so that each branch is just long enough to have about 9 or more buds.
