Once the leave have dropped of the tree and I say mid feb is cut off time as the buds are getting ready to start to grow Most important thing in fruit tree pruning is making shore u no what a fruiting bud looks like Its a long winded job take ur time It's not like a reduction on a tree U have to reduce the tree to fruiting buds and growth points and try to thin all the leaders out (A thinner fruit tree make less fruit but bigger fruit) A fruit tree that's had a reduction to just growth points makes a thick tree and yes the fruiting crop may be really good but u don't get a good size fruit Hope this make sence Iv seen so many tree surgeons that are great at reduction but can't prune fruit trees right to save there life Best of luck martin Ps plums don't like being pruned

I agree with what ur saying hodge I would rather have a bit of kit like the hb20 I will be buying a hb20 in say a year or so but for now have to put up with me little husq Just wish I had 30k spare so I could buy a hb20 and a bandit 65in one go :lol: till then I will just keep day dreaming till I get there

What type of hedge is it mate
-
That's nice chaps I ent got 7k to spend on a bandit And to be fair a 2ft willow stump with the root flair was nearly 3ft of grinding and cleaning up in 2hours I don't think is good for a machine with 13hp We all have to start somewhere in this world hence the bloke asking the Q He may want a cheep grinder that he can grind small conifer stumps out with and don't get many stumps bigger. That 18inch Iv would love a hb 20 but like alot of people can't find the money or would rather spend the extra 4.5k getting my business on track

on call out jobs I ask for full payment with in 14days and if they want to involve the insurance company's then they still have to pay in full by 14 days and get the insurance company to refund them not pay me as they will have my invoice and can send it on if they don't agree to the terms then I do the work that's booked in
