Pruning 7,000 trees on one orchard

We're busy pruning by hand the more than 7,000 Blenheim Apricot trees

on our newest orchard.   It's in it's 5th year of production and growing 

vigorously.  We're keeping the trees short (so as not to need aa ladder to pick).

I need to say: all of this pruning and shaping is done by hand.  It's an art form and 

not your average man can do it.  I'm thank my guys for doing such a good job.

Now ....onto the clean up of branches from 7,000 trees covring the ground.
