You are on the right track with your 4 steps. Most important is trimming. Do not be afraid to trim. I have been trimming fruit trees for over 25 years. do not trim them unless you are mad at something, you will not do a good enough job.
Spring-spray with lime sulfur and dormant oil after trimming. When the blossems start to turn pink and fall off, Imadan@ Captan every 10 to 14 days. Fruit trees are alot off work but, if thats what you are into they can keep you in good food all winter long.
Our fruit trees have been here a long time and I can stand on the ground and pick fruit from the tops of the trees. Like I said, good trimming is the most important thing. It also cuts down on the amount of pestisides you need to use.
