Very interesting change up from bonsai posts although I guess similar in many aspects. I have some young apple trees that I will need to prune and start shaping eventually. They are young enough I have decided all growth is good while they are getting established but some are getting tall enough to need some pruning. Fun to trade some work and expertise for a good dinner. I once cleaned out a farmers silo with a couple of guys and his wife cooked us a good meal while we were doing it. Then we all sit down afterwards. It is a good memory.
