Any time between November and April is good for pruning the trees, but January/February are the best months. Best for the trees maybe, but pretty unwelcoming for the pruners!
We have been working with The National Trust on their Orchard Project, showing their wardens in the South West how to restore old trees and neglected orchards.
Neil Macdonald manages all our orchards, and another 800 acres in the area. He is passionate about the trees, and about the biodiversity they promote. Did you know that an orchard has TEN times the diversity of a plain green field?
