Pruning the Old Apple Tree

We have a tree in the back yard that was grafted on by Carol's folks over 50 years ago. so that it now produced three varieties of apples, Gravenstein, Winesap and Yellow Delicious. We love that old tree, and it produces some wonderful apples. We don't want anything bad to happen to the tree.

The tree was in real need of a pruning. So our friend, Izzy, who is skilled at tree maintenance, is doing the work for us. It is quite a project, but he is coming right along with it and should finish up tomorrow. I thought I would get a shot of him on the job.

A very nicely done shot, Vern. Wow, that's quite a tree and even has family history as well! That's super.

Nice shot of Izzy doing this hard work. Good that you're having this done. We neglected to do it to a Lemon Tree and nearly lost it. "V"

We do the same sort of thing with our trees, get someone who knows what they're doing..
