Supper sounded and looked good too. You all stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you all share . Fred and family.

    I’m getting out and trimming on mine today. Today is the first day in a while that we’ve had ☀️.. I even bought some new pruners yesterday. So y’all’s video came just in time. In case something makes more sense to me. I do have lots of good mulch I got out from our barn and coops, ready to go around them too.

    I was sitting with my 94 year old neighbor one day and we were discussing pruning apple trees. He said I was pruning wrong. Not enough. He said you should be able to toss a tomcat right up the center of the tree all the way to the top without him hitting a limb. 😳 He was pretty much right ya know. 😬

      Dwarf fruit trees are hard to find in our area of south central NC. Even semi dwarf grow well over 15 feet down here. If anyone knows a source for dwarf fruit trees in south central NC, please post at least the name of the place. Thanks everyone😊✌️

    I was always told that fruit tree roots like to grow out instead of down because they're such heavy feeders. So they just don't have big taproots, and because of that are often wiggly lol.

    Thank you for the information Andy. We have a Satsuma plum & a nectarine. Our peach tree died & we are thinking about apple trees but we weren't real sure how to go about pruning fruit trees. We have an established Sycamore that we have to have trimmed from time to time & a fruitless mulberry (semi dwarf) that we can handle but we didn't know if fruit trees could be trimmed the same way. Thanks again Andy, appreciate it.
