<< I have always found that in the winter you should keep pruning your trees

tender prunings first.  As it snows more do more pruning.  They liked pear 
prunings better than applewood and didn't touch plum or apricot.  Judson L.

When I lived in snow country, I placed prunings on top of snow under a 
spotlight.  Then I popped off several each night until the population was 
adjusted to something more reasonable.  I sat in an attic window, shooting 
down, which enabled me to use a 22, much cheaper to run than the shotgun.
