Apple trees

We are a little late on the pruning and getting the garden under control, but doing as much as we can amongst going to Paris, skiing and moving animals about.

Doug cut the branches off the tree that fell down so that we can try to resurrect it. May or may not work, but worth a try. Clearly we need to push it upright now.

I have pruned the apple trees (not the ones I planted in the autumn, the slightly older ones). They have been in 4 years (or maybe even 5), but we failed to prune them for a few years so I had to be a bit drastic last year and this one. Hopefully will all come good and we will get some Bramleys soon! It also has a hard life as it was blown over and gets swamped in bracken each year as well.
