Well that is one of the olive groves pruned. Maybe around 60-70 trees (I’ve never counted carefully). 350 trees total so still a ton of work to do. Not to mention getting all the branches collected then run them through the chipper. Lots and lots of mulch this year.
Pretty severe pruning this year. Long overdue. Wet summer and autumn massively increased the Spanish moss and lichen. Stuff I pruned a month or so ago already getting new growth.

Made a new compost bin with pallets and pruned the acacia so that I looks like an actual tree.

Já a Câmara Municipal de #Gondomar – que não consta que se auto-autue por danos nas árvores... –, se não se põe a jeito, ainda é autuada pela Câmara Municipal do #Porto até à bancarrota...
Estas podas radicais são um atentado à biodiversidade, da árvore às espécies que delas dependem.
Todos os anos, novo protesto (prévio às podas), mas, claro, o ímpeto de as amputar é mais forte. O que farão com os ramos?...🤔

"My thoughts turn to... #Pruning.
Ideally, the first #Blasts of #Winter have left their mark & stripped the #Trees of #Leaves.
I delay my pruning because, for me, #Vision is crucial.
The #Art of pruning involves seeing into the #Future.
I'm like a #Bonsai #Gardener... shaping each #Tree for the long term.
When working with #Dying trees, I feel one of the ...#Strongest #Emotions a farmer has:
A sense of #Hope."
- David "Mas" #Masumoto, #Peach & #Grape Farmer & #Author, #Epitaph for a #Peach

#OTD Gustave Flaubert, #French #Novelist, is born.
In Bouvard et Pécuchet, he wrote,
A #Pear... is sold in the #Capital for 5 or 6 #Francs.
#Gardeners make out of #Apricots 25,000 #Lires a year!
At #StPetersburg, during the #Winter, #Grapes are sold at a #Napoleon per grape.
It is a #Beautiful #Industry, you must #Admit!
And what does it #Cost?
#Attention, #Manure, & the #Fresh #Touch of the #Pruning #Knife.

#OTD Claude #Aubriet, #French #Illustrator & #Botanical #Artist.
Although he didn't belong to the Academy of #Painting & #Sculpture, he became #Painter to the #King & lived at the #Royal #Garden until he died.
In 1722, he changed his will, leaving his most-prized possession, a #Cabinet from Jean #Joubert, to the #Botanist Bernard #Jussieu.
Today, the genus Aubrieta ("Aubreesha") is named for Claude Aubriet. After #Flowering, #Pruning will encourage new #Shoots.

#Ego in the #Garden ala The #Newlywed #Game.
"Name a #Flower that reminds you of your #Partner."
"I'm gonna say the #Rose, Bob.
She once told me to think of roses as little #Pigs; they love to #Eat (nutrients in the soil) and they go where they want - thus all the #Pruning.
And Roses say:
Look at me.
Look at ME.
LOOK at me.
LOOK AT ME!
but don't #Touch.
Sounds familiar.
So, I'm gonna say the Rose."
