Severe Trim

Will trimmed the apple tree, as it was reaching past the telephone wires. More like pruned back. Well, more like severely hacked back the apple tree. Edward planted the tree over 35 years ago and started to pollard the tree, hence the branches going out to the side before they go up. In attempting to continue that shape, Will cut pretty much all of the branches off....



Now the tree looks really twisted and spooky, just in time for Halloween. With such a hard pruning, we hope that we will actually get some fruit; or at least some apple blossoms.

Looks like Ronn's method of pruning. Hope Will's is more successful!
