The fruit grow on the previous year's stems so you'll get more next year. Wait a while & it'll lose it's leaves so you can see the stems better. You prune to create a 'goblet' shape, like you were cupping both hands together to catch a ball. Cut the middle stems out for better air circulation then any unhealthy looking bits & anything that's crossing & might rub off bark in the wind & be a way for disease to get in
