This weekend was`nt Wet but Very Cold & its the time of Year for Prunning/Planting Trees ect ,So Phil got his Saw in Hand Climbed the Apple Tree & Cut out The Branches i asked him 2 ! This Photo is a B4 Pic Taken Feb 08

& This Pic i took this Morning Jan 09 after its Weekend Trim/Prunning :)


You Can see some of the Branches laying behind the Apple Tree,I also Prunned The Tree Last Year as lots of Branches were Rubbing/Touching so i thought they should come out 1st ,Its not A Good Idea2 Prune 2 much @ a Time as it could Kill the Tree this is why its had more cut out this Winter

Good job done Jacque - is it a cooking apple tree - it looks quite old - you'll have to get some mistletoe seeds - they do well on apple trees.

Jacque....from the shape of the tree looks like oak or beech...for some reason,notice ivy likes climbing through beech but dont know why.Ray says,best way is to go take a look at the leaves below it...if any left.!
