Non edible prune

Today was a non running day.The weather was good but a neighbour has an apple tree that had been neglected for several years so I left the trainers in the box and took out the shears. Cutting out the dead bits and the long straggly bits I was then able to let some light into the heart of the tree and give it some shape. The summer will show whether or not it has been a success but it does look better. They have a willow tree that is need of attention but that will be a job for another day.
