What doesn't kill you.....

These days, I'm learning a lot about pruning in general and pruning fruit trees in particular. What seems counter-intuitive at first is that pruning actually helps the tree grow and produce more. To quote one dude: "pruning = stimulus".

Of course, you can overdo it and it needs to be done right, but nonetheless, pruning does indeed = stimulus.

I once got a 3-day ban. At first I was outraged. Then I found out, I learned, and became a better contributor for it.
