Last week I did some pruning in my garden. I removed these branches from my apple tree, and was tipped by a colleague to put them in a vase. They're developing green tips! So, hopefully, I will also see some apple blossom later on

#pruning advice please! I thought this little #CherryTree was dead; is it too late to do a winter pruning? Our cold weather was about two week of frosty nights, last month. The buds are showing green, just.

Also, all the buds are at the very ends of the branches - *can* i prune them without starving it? Prune a fraction, maybe?

I’m trying to follow _Grow A Little Fruit Tree_, am at the 3rd year.

Trying to save this birch that has been treated poorly by the previous guy. He left a long stump to get infected and rot.

I cut the stump and trimmed the rot away, then painted it with limewash (it's quite warm today), we'll see in summer how it will cope.

If not, I'll have to fell it. It's leaning towards the road and we don't need it falling on some stupid BMW SUV.

Winter's the best time to prune grapevines! Dormant vines are less stressed by cuts & it's easier to see the structure for precise pruning. This encourages healthy growth & better fruit in spring! #grapevine #pruning #winter #gardening #wine

Some pruning required.

Oh, it stopped raining, let's do something outside, like trim that massive juniper bush that's growing into the driveway.

Several hours and 5 wheelbarrows full of trimmings later, the bush is _somewhat_ under control again and there was just enough daylight left to fetch firewood.

Underneath another structure. Looks like a collapsed dog house or something. Even with all the rain we had the soil there was bone dry.

Discworld's death of branches.

Made it. Lovely weather, little traffic and the trailer handled well.

Got stuck right in trimming some branches that were touching the house to make it harder for the monster in the attic to climb in and out.

Also found a gap under the roof that looked like it may be the entrace. Shoved a piece of metal in. We'll hear tonight if that was a success.
