My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Apple Pruning early and dormant spray

18 years ago

If folks are planning to dormant spray, get prepared with what you need for those extended dry-spells.

As I've written before, I rarely prune my own apple trees after January, because I'm usually done by December.

On main reason being much better dormant spray coverage.
