reviving old trees

this could be a whole chapter of its own. Lots of folks inherit old neglected trees.






Older trees are icons . Are they worth saving ? When do you prune them that one last time at the stump

Our oldest, biggest apple tree died this past year. It was an old seedling set out by itself on a steep hill. I still won't cut it down and talked my father (who can be quick with a saw) into leaving the carcass standing as wildlife habitat. Cheers to you Paul for your efforts in renewing these old-timers !
