Before and after

I was all for getting rid of this tree. It was old, out of shape and the fruit was ugly and pitted. But it got a second chance when Dave came to stay and we pruned it ( very harshly and radically) together. I then weeded underneath and underplanted with lavender, catmint and antirrhinum and sprinkled liberally with fish, bone and blood. Top say it looks happier is an understatement and we are looking forward to a grand harvest.
