Yes, somewhere along I read that branches started at 5 feet. If you have
livestock you know why. Branches below that would get pruned for lunch. Our

Some of the difference, at least in the USA, is recent ideas about sanitation. While they wouldn't preclude having livestock in the orchard some of the year, if the fruit ripens at different times following currently recommended standards would mean keeping livestock out for much of the growing season.
Yes, I know: the fruit is up in the air. I didn't write those recommendations!
