So far this year 2022 I have pruned the Fuyu persimmon tree by the shop side door and the Hachiya persimmon by the YAHB side door. Now I’m starting on the main orchard trees ( Dec. 17th 2022). I’m working slowly and carefully on the tall orchard ladder, taking about two hours to prune a full-size tree like the apple tree in the photo below. I will be replacing a few of the old peach trees this year.
