WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

Maybe you’ve heard the saying before about apple tree pruning and cats. The old timers would often state, “An apple tree wasn’t pruned enough until you could throw a cat through it.” After we finished pruning a member’s apple tree, the neighbor’s cat decided to check it out itself. The first photo depicts just how overgrown this tree had become. The latter 2 show the apple tree “hidden” inside.

May the Forest Be with You,
