Make Space for Life had lots of apple trees to prune at the Community Orchard, so they asked for some help from GoodGym. Sarah , Viv and Anne-Laure joined Fiona on North Town Moor. Together with other volunteers we had a quick lesson on pruning apple trees from Taskowner John, and were let loose on the trees. We snipped and lopped the branches, trying to maintain an open shape and cut back anything that was too thin to bear the weight of the fruit. A quick coffee break and re-fuelled by biscuits, we returned to our task. We all learned something and will have the confidence to try it out on our own trees in the future! John was grateful for our help and we hope to be invited back in the future
