Apple tree pruning is progressing. This one is another Red Delicious, but on standard rootstock. It put on quite a bit of vertical growth over the summer & was reaching up to over 15 feet (4.5 meter). Got rid of most of the vertical growth, the dead wood, crossing branches and opened it up a bit. It's also showing signs of Sapsucker visits. Got trimmings all picked up & ready for the chipper. Now on to the next tree when I get more spoons...

Finally got all the pipe bits, my tools and me in the same place and set up the feed into the new IBC water tank from half the shed roof. #allotment #gardening
