Finally! After about 2 month's delay due to bad winter weather, I have finally finished pruning the last of my apple trees. This one is about 50 years old and is a heritage New England variety called "Baldwin". Makes the best pies ever and the apples keep a good, long time. Now on to prune the raspberry patch. 😀

A mature apple tree set in a grassy field.  Tree shows massive vertical growth at the top and reaches about 28 feet  / 8.5 meters in height.  Most of the branches are bare but a few leaves cling on near the tips of the sprouts.  Bright sun, clear blue sky.  A few houses and sheds appear in the background.  Tree needs a lot of pruning.
