G'day all...

To quote Jim: "...toot...toot, toot... and toot, toot, toot,
toot...".

Well, I guess nobody else will.

Congatulations, and Congatulations, Congatulations, and
Congatulations, Con...
well, you know.

Any pix in the Gallery?


Last year. ;-) Old gallery -- which is still up, I think!

Probably no time, now. We're heading out your way tomorrow --
but north of you.

people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.

Pardon me, but do you mean:

a: In fall, remove all leaves and all fruit except one for the look
called 'full moon between the branches'.

or

b: Remove all leaves and all fruit except one for the look called
'full moon between the branches in fall'.

Either works for me. The goal being bare tree with
one fruit in the rear.

I heard or read somewhere that crabapples respond poorly to
defoliation: the leaves come back just as big. Hopefully they
will reduce as the tree
becomes twiggier.

FWIW I tried defoliating one of my crabapples, a wild collected
specimen, a couple of
years ago. I saw no change in leaf size. This is why my
crabapples and apples are on
the large side.


OTOH, I have a 7 inch common pear whose leaves have reduced from
about 4 inches to about 3/4 inch. It has been in a mame/shohin
pot now since the early 90s.

It -- patting myself on the back -- won first prize in our clubs
"Shohin showdown" last weekend. ;-)

and 4th, too. :-X
