Mulching and pruning our local fruit and nut trees
Jo-seph gathered volunteers on most weekends in December to mulch, prune and garden around our local fruit and nut trees. Wood chip was spread to mulch the trees by Stevens Road flats. Grey days are the perfect reason to get out into the fresh air for a bit of exercise and meet up with lovely locals. We all feel good in just a couple of hours of volunteer gardening. Come and join in!
The Tree Guardian next meet up is Sunday 7th January 2024, we look forward to seeing you.
Why do we prune fruit trees?
We prune fruit and nut trees “To cut out disease, damage and deadwood: pruning to remove these three Ds is considered a way to promote a healthy, productive tree.” Says Wade Muggleton at Permaculture Magazine see the website for the full and interesting article.
