I have two apple trees that I planted two years ago. I assume they were a few years old already. I haven't "committed" to making them "open-center" shaped. Do I want to slowly, year by year work toward cutting them down to the 3 or 4 main branches (meaning is it too late to chop off the central leader outright)? Or there is the option of having a modified open center with the main branches being higher than a couple feet. Please help!

I have a couple of old crab-apple trees that haven't been looked after for a couple of years, but a beautiful nevertheless, and I found your orchard restoration play list very helpful. Thank you for posting!

Your collection of essays "Three men in a hut" is very interesting and a page turner.

Hi Stephen,

great informative clips may i say. we're on the verge of turning the unused land we've get into raised vegetable beds. It is going to be somewhat of an experiment has i am disabled due to a spine injury, but having the raised beds will at least allow me to reach on my knees into the center from both sides of them. we have also taken the decision to grow heirloom and rare vegetables, as usually they're far superior than the commercial varieties, just harder to harvest or not mega producing, Also got quite a few fruit bushes to put into the ground, gonna need some more so am thinking of cloning a few to save the budget a bit, but at this moment, aint got a clue. Well Rome wasn't built in a day was it :0)

All the best for now Stephen
