Pruning fruit and nut trees
Time of year for pruning, and an attempt to improve the shape of the trees for easier picking.
Our orchard has a number of large trees as well as a collection of younger ones, all require attention.

More Trees
This weekend I planted a number of crop trees. For the most part it was seedling walnuts collected from under my grandmothers tree but also included 5 grafted fruit trees I purchased.
2 x apricot
2 x nectarine
1 x almond
