Tree Following January 2017 Part 6.
Many thanks to Squirrelbasket for hosting this monthly meme #Treefollowing
The James Grieve Apple Tree finally lost its leaves during the Month of December.
All that is left now are the bare branches of a sleeping tree, perhaps it’s dreaming of sunnier weather.
I know I am.
For the festive season I covered the Tree in fairy lights, which are solar-powered.
Looks a bit different in the daytime.

The not much happening Apple Tree
I have been thinking about a little bit of shaping pruning, but I am waiting for info on an Apple Grafting workshop I want to attend, so I’ll leave it for now in case I can Graft on some different varieties and try to create a Family Apple, or at least try to.
Whilst trying to take the above picture I was constantly barracked at by the ever critical Freddy.

Everybody’s a critic.
So until next month, don’t disturb the dreaming Apple Tree.
To be Continued….
