Old apple tree – pruning

Old apple tree – pruning

An old apple tree needs a bit of grooming .. but it has to be done over a couple of years

When it comes to fruit tree pruning you might think that one season will be enough to bring back a tree from a total mess to a well structured, healthy and fruitful tree but no it
isn’t enough. Most of the time you need to allow few years to reshape such tree.
Tree we have done recently had lots of water sprouts ( suckers ) that haven’t been removed after someone else before did what it seemed to me like a major reduction ..
It had some rubbing, crossing branches and some dead ones..
Decision was to remove suckers, crossing / rubbing branches and some dead ones. No reduction this year as this would have been too much in my opinion.
Little planting in Tilehurst

Little planting in Tilehurst

Small, shady patch at the front of the house has had a small makeover. Previously two euonymouses and various weeds.

We kept euonymouses, added 5 sweet boxes and topped it all with plenty of ajugas.

 

Perfect choice for shady areas like this one.

Small garden turfing job in a new-built house in south of Reading

It was a good morning warm up job.
We’ve cleared, rotavated with added quality compost, levelled and laid turf rolls… but hang on …we’ve also watered, tided up afterwards, and gave few words of advise about after-care 😉
