changes on the ponderosa

Ice cream bean tree has been killed off - it was big (6m or more and 8m across) creating too much shade for the citrus near and under it so it's bye bye ice cream bean

Also gone is my favourite morning job - the granadilla. SWMBO decided it must go - too much shade, too messy and no fruit for ages. No arguement. Big job though, all of the vine was mulched and created wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of mulch.

And the mulberry was pruned so that the lowest branch is 2m or more off the ground, again for shade reduction to let the soursop and carambola and nectarine get more sun.

So there is light in parts of the garden again LOL.

A grape vine will be trained where the granadilla was.
