Summer Fruit Tree Pruning

Did I miss summer?  Nothing but cold grey skies and damaging gusty winds. As for summer pruning fruit trees, it was more like late autumn.  Not that weather hindered progress.  Chris was out with the Niwaki steps skillfully wielding loppers. Before you knew it, both pear trees and our grafted apple had had haircuts and, as we had a bonfire on the go, we were able to burn all the prunings immediately.

Now THAT's efficient!
