Nottingham Tree Surgeons Leaf Tree Services |Orchard tidy up, Leicestershire

This orchard had been neglected for some time and was in need of some attention. Many of the trees had a large amount of deadwood in them, including one which had to removed completely. The wood chip was left as a mulch around the trees to aid with moisture retention. Hopefully we can now establish a cycle of winter pruning for the apples ad mid-summer for the soft fruits. We spent an very enjoyable 2 days here, secateurs and pruning saws were a welcome break from the chainsaws!
