The orchard trees started arriving right after Christmas. The empty garden beds provided a suitable place to keep them until all was ready for planting.
One of the thirty four bareroot trees for the orchard. Not so much in the way of roots for the part that is above ground. Chickenwire cages were put around each tree to protect the roots from gophers. After planting, the trees needed to be pruned so that what is above the ground is better balanced with what is below ground.
