    Loved Joaquim acting as cameraman. Looks like a fun day with friends and neighbors.
    Beautiful sunset at the end of the episode.

    It's amazing how many types of fruit trees respond to this type of harsh pruning. We have a dozen large shade trees. I have a crew that prunes them on a two or three year rotation. The last time they came, they used only battery powered chain saws. Told me they use them in neighborhoods and developments to keep the noise down. With the exception of the giant chipper running from time to time, I barely knew they were here. Was so impressed, I did some research and bought myself a small 12 inch bar battery saw. Quiet and excellent for pruning low hanging branch between their regular visits.
    The farm look great. Hope it doesn't get cold enough to be a true killing frost! Have a wonderful and safe holiday.

      Cheers, I think we will be ok here frost wise. Just a light coating on the fields on the coldest mornings :)

    That was fun watching Joaquim filming and great job on the trees. That was well worth getting help for the pruning.

    Wow thats some extreme pruning. As old as those trees I’d be worried about getting growth branches back. But I guess they know what they are doing.

    • @kikoempis
      @kikoempis 10 месяцев назад +3

      The older and more established they are, the quicker and more vigorous the return is. As they have bigger and deeper roots, they regrow quite quickly.

    • @kikoempis
      @kikoempis 10 месяцев назад +2

      In 2 or 3 years they'll be pruning like this again.

    You should move your fire s around because it ads carbon to the soil and helps fertilize. Jaoquim is such a pro!

    How are your new AC/Heat pumps working in this cold weather. Is it keeping the house nice and warm? How does the cost of running it compare with the cost of using wood in the past?
