Pruning the Apple Tree

Not a very glamorous job, but one we put off too long.

All the spring-like weather has the trees starting to blossom, and we put-off pruning the apple tree to go to Hawaii, instead.

Here is the tree with all the growth from last year.




Here is the tree after our adventure. It looks much better!

Hopefully the tree won't die... and will do as well as it did for us last year.

I couldn't help think of Hugh B. Brown's talk "God is the Gardener" as I cut on the tree. One of my favorite talks, available here: http://www.ldsvoices.com/index.php?id=29
