Hi Spider

Here are some pics as promised:

apple

The new shoots and branches are well below the fruiting top and there is a
big gap between both.

plum

Once again the new shoots are well below the main top

holly

This is one new shoot but there are others on the other side. This was the
most clear to show.

cotoneaster

I suspect this is self explanatory I am not sure why the trunk grew
around like this! The wrapping on the side is there because my latest dog
decided it was a tasty place to chew!!!

Thanks for looking if you have the time, but if you haven't, don't worry

Ophelia

ooops forgot the hydrangea
