Stopping your trees from producing fruit is very easy, and is very helpful to the tree's health. It takes the tree a lot of energy to produce fruit, which means a lot of the energy needed for the tree to grow is missing. This is especially helpful with a young, fruit-bearing tree. Removing the flowers is all it takes to stop the fruit from growing.
Locate the tree flowering before the flowering turns into fruit. Depending on the type of tree, the flowering will look different, but they will be very easy to spot, as they are completely different shapes and colors than the leaves.
Locate the flower pods that have yet to turn into flowers and remove them. A lot of energy goes into helping these pods blossom into flowers, so removing them will help the tree concentrate on growing instead of flowering and producing fruit.
Cut the flowers off at the leaf junction. You can use a very sharp blade or gardening sheers. Pinch off the flowering pods with your fingers, and then cut the stem down to the leaf junction. Do this every season until the tree gets to the height you need.
