All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Some snowdrops came out during the last days, other than that I didn't notice anything. Need to trim the apple tree soon - just ate the last apples from last year :)
There are so many ways and "styles" of pruning fruit trees - how do you like to do yours?
Admittedly I'm not very knowledgeable about different pruning ways. I'm friends with a gardener and usually follow their recommendations. We have one very old and large apple tree that we would like to keep alive as long as possible (fruit bearing or not) and some new trees where we don't cut too much except for inwards-growing water sprouts. Generally prioritizing harvest and tree resilience, plus some extras with the old tree.
