I'm still ecstatic about tree pruning and the lost art of it.... I drove today an hour to cut an apple tree at a friends place. I was already awaited by neighbours who want their cherry tree to be cut... fascinating how all of this knowledge seem to be lost or getting lost these days. cherry trees are esp. nice to cut when the cherries can be harvested, so you have a nice tree and all the cherries... thus looking forward to go there again in late June \o/
to preserv our nice fruit trees, go out and take some tree pruning workshop and make good connections with your neighbours :)
