It's time for a farm report...
Last weekend we went to Mendon's Nursery in Paradise and observed a pruning clinic and demonstration. Afterwards, fueled with a little pruning knowledge and a "can do" attitude, I went about the task of cutting our orchard down to a manageable size. For practice, I started out in front with the Crepe Myrtle, cutting them down to about 8' tall. Then I headed out into the back and some real fruit trees...Hey! It was easy. I have done about 3 trees so far and have about 10 to go. Of course the proof of my skills will be in the spring and summer, when the trees leaf out and the fruit sets...
