In a previous post  I described how expert pruner Posy Gentles tackled our tangled old apple tree to improve its look and health.  Here it is before the pruning

Posy specialises in transparent pruning, also known as French pruning, which aims to create as much air and light in the canopy of a tree as she can to optimise health and beauty.  Here it is after her pruning.

And I am thrilled to show you how it looks right now.

 

 

Maybe think about asking Posy to rejuvenate your tree this Winter and you will be thrilled with the results next Spring.

To read more about the pruning see the blog below.
