The last couple weeks have been pretty decent as far as weather goes. I have all of my apple trees pruned, at least the lower 8 feet of them. Not sure if I will bother with the tops any more, they are just to high now, since they are all on standard root stocks. I have started to do some hinge cutting, but with 1-2 feet of snow still in the woods, I havent gone crazy on that yet. I have a couple big brush piles I wanted to burn up this weekend, but with some rain in the for cast for tomorrow, it will probably be to wet. It is looking like mother nature is going to cool things off a bit for the 10 day, which is ok with me, I dont need the apple trees waking up yet, they still need a good 4-6 weeks before they can blossom. I am hoping for a large apple crop this year.
