To get the new year off to a good start, I had Mike help prune (which means he did all the work and I cleaned up) the apricot tree in our backyard. Mike said that he pruned it like he pruned the kiwi plants when he was in New Zealand. Does that mean we are going to get kiwis instead of appricots? I think there must be something to genetics - he pruned the tree as much as I remember my dad pruning our peach tree. Take a look for yourselves -
