Cloud pruning year 2. Not sure how the plant feels but I find the cutting a bit distressing, However it is thickening up well and is looking so much better than it’s old straggly self.

Very brave 👍🏻

It was looking so sad last year @sadieberg it was time for desperate measures.

Morning all! Calm is restored, all is well in the garden thankfully.About to drive along the the prom on my way up the hill, but no worrying reports. Here’s a pic of cloud pruning, second cut Now to wait and watch! #olive #cloudpruning

Great to hear 🖒 unfortunately still no sign of Ophelia finishing here so I'm in for another day.

Hi @Diane76 hope it’s subsiding somewhat by now. It continued to be fairly windy until about 12 and now we have a glorious day🌤

Winds easing now and managed to get out for a walk. @valjones-hughes 😊
#plantstory here’s an Olive tree I was given when I left a much loved job 20 years ago. Great memories of the adults and children I worked with. It’s still very much a baby but it’s grown such a lot. Two years ago I decided to cloud prune it and it’s going okay but needs a clip but I’ll do it after flowering. I won’t be around to see it get old and gnarled but maybe one of the family will take or on. 💚
Love your plantstory, Val😍 @valjones-hughes and I'm sure its story will always be passed on 😃💕
