big fell!

hi rik

thanks for the repy ,so july onwards then for shareing and what about the leader do you trim that off to stall the desiered height of the tree? on the scots pine a couple of year back i sprayed for a bad affid infestation as a matter of course (they borderd potatoes!!) do they knock the trees growth or is it something to do as a anual treatment? our soil is a rich silt loam good drainage would i need to npk the trees is that a spring application or just as the new growth starts ?

i hope its ok to ask these questions and hope it don't seem to cheaky?

hope shareing xmas trees isnt as hard a work as asparagus picking!!
