Don’t pay attention to the Government, kids. Regular pruning just can’t happen.
We do a fair amount of canning and pickling here on the fahm, me and Mahm, but we never figured out how to prune a tree.
Is that like when you been soakin in the tub too long, your skin gets all wrinkled and pruny? How we supposed to get the tree underwater long enough to make it all wrinkly?
And who wants maple syrup from a pruny tree>
I tell yah, yah can’t get there from heah. And ya can’t make me prune my trees.
Up in de S’Albins area, we gota walluped a short whil ago with that there “unconfirmed tornado” – no amount of prunin is gonna help. And I ain’t ascared to say so either.
“Without maintenance trees can take wind in different ways and can be a menace not only to themselves but to others.”
“Whole hedgerows were blown down all in the same direction…”
Kinda sounds like the few dairy cows we still have.
Exceptin that they MAKE wind in different ways and can really be a menace to other cows, especially when the local kids start tippin them over.
Once ya tip one, they tend to go like big dominos, all in the same direction.
After painful consideration, we’re gonna cut down the rest of the sugarbush trees, which ain’t exactly bushes anyhow, and we’re gonna put in blueberry bushes.
At least that way, when the winds blow them over, we won’t have to paint our blue house again.
But we’ll have to give the dog a new name. Maybe instead of Old Yeller, go for Old Blue? Could give him a complex.

I think you prune trees the way you prune plums – right? It’s all about the sun. Wait, no, that can’t be right. Maybe a BIG soaker hose?
Would pruney maple syrup taste anything like plum syrup?
Like the article says, prune them young. About 2″ above the ground should do it.
