pruning damaged plants in wet conditions?

rather wait and see if and which parts of a plant recover on their own before going ahead with the big means? If I should prune now, how far back for apple, pear, plum, cherry and soft fruit (blueberries, red and black currants, raspberries)? and what by nadiamaz

late apple drop?

is one of the most challenging apples to grow well. Commercial growers spray and spray and spray again. Maybe not the best choice for the amateur. The best apples to grow are not usually the ones you can find with ease in the supermarket. Last year by nadiamaz

Small Trees For Privacy

this. We have measured up to the height of their window and it is 5.5M so ideally I am looking for trees which would grow to around this height, or a little more. Initially I was looking at evergreen trees which would provide privacy in winter. Looking by Adam Osbourne
