The pruning crew has gone and we now have a very different view to the east of the house. All of the fruit trees were brought down to manageable levels and the big walnuts were topped as well. It looks like a disaster! I have to admire the pruners skill though; they can see the future when they begin to cut.
We'll have to look at this devastated landscape for a few more months and then the buds will come, followed quickly by the leaves. In fact, the local almond crop has already begun to bud and we'll see blossoms in a month or less. But in the meantime, it rains and that's a good thing!
