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
dwarf and semi dwarfs.. I do not know if they were the reason for moving the
livestock or resulted as from having done so.

(I didn't realize that grazing animals in the orchard was a traditional way
to maintain the orchard floor. Makes sense. Turkey Ridge Organic Orchard
has a lot of success doing that in our area. ~mIEKAL)
