Over the last few weeks the large apple tree has had its canopy trimmed horizontally. Today my husband attacked the branches that go straight up in the air, some of them were over 8ft!
Here he is, up the large ladder, debating what to branch to saw next. We could get rid of the tree, but giving it a good prune every couple of years provides quite a bit of firewood! The apples are good too! Next door has most of the crop and we get apple pies in return.
By the time my husband had finished the tree looked a lot neater, and I was able to hang my washing out for the first time this year!
