Holy cow Waite, what are you people up there made of? Even allowing for
a little thinner blood, you must be tougher than whang leather. I
never go out to prune unless it's above 30F or my fingers freeze. Zero?
I don't think the trees care; they are dormant as doornails. I'm the
one who cares.

Well Don, it is a little more complicated than that:-) I am a weekend orchardist and will be out of the country for three weeks so "times a-waistin". Having moved up here from North Carolina and Virginia, (Winchester) twenty-five years ago I am still trying to "prove" myself with these Mainiacs. Actually we love to talk about how cold it is. What else is there to do in a Maine wintah. Thanks for the advice folks. Waite Maclin, Cushing, Maine.
