welcome back great Stephen !!! p.s. your "Orleanse reinette" as well as "Ribston Pippin" are doing pretty well....by the way,my "Carla" apple...how's it doing ?
Lovely to hear from you again, and I am certain that 'new knowledge' was on offer, but I could not hear a thing that you were explaining because of the wind noise! How irritating is that!
@@stephenhayesuk No need to apologise! I can see my comment was not as polite as it should have been! What I was really trying to say was 'What a shame with the wind as I was really looking forward to hearing what you had to say' - if you see what I mean.
Does your pole saw have a secature with a pull rope? They are invaluable for cutting the smaller stuff up top although the rope tends to tighten on your hand if you loop it. Gloves help though.
@@stephenhayesuk great. It really inspired me to do the same and we've now planted our 2nd 'peace orchard'! Around 100 mixed fruit trees which we largely grafted ourselves thanks to your videos.
So glad to see you in a new video! Glad you are well!
Great to see you back Stephen!! Thank you for posting
Best pruning ever among the others. Glad to learn your way
Bark tearing and bad angles downsides to pole saws. Definitely time savers
Nice to see you back.

Carla is growing well, plenty of wood but no fruit yet. I'll hopefully taste some this year.

The wind was a pain, sorry. It started just as we began filming. I must remember to bring some cotton wool to tape over the mic next time.

Back with a bang and since the video quality is so much better. I think you could rereview varieties or things you have changed your mind on.

Nice👌👍
It'd be great to see some footage of your perry orchard this year if you can find the time.
Yes.

That pole saw has a really nice cut!
Is it a Silky Fox Hayate Telescopic Pole Saw?
If not what brandname and model please.
Yes, Silky Hayate.
I’ve missed y’all!!
Undercut yeah? Not probably, definitely
Hi Stephen, hope your well is it too late to start apple tree grafting?
Probably yes, too late. Ideally you cut the scion wood while totally dormant (for me, that's February) Then graft in April.
@@stephenhayesuk ok Thanks for the info i’ll be on the ball for next year God willing, happy Easter.
why not just lop it down to a reachable height and take care with the cuts?
Poor trees n madless prunning
