Our mature apple trees had not been pruned for years and although very productive, the fruit was small and poor quality. I was nervous about anyone tackling them (I've seen some real horrors where trees have been hacked to bits), but Sam thoroughly explained what he was going to do and made a great job of pruning and re-shaping them without going too far. The trees are much neater/more manageable now and the fruit this year has been greatly improved, exactly as he said it would. There is clearly a great deal of knowledge here and the advice provided on ongoing tree care was much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending this service.
