    yeh, that made you look, didn't it? :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

    several years ago I bought 3 hazelnut saplings for my hubby. They've not really been pruned since then. Does anyone know how and when to prune them please? They're getting rather too bushy/big

          nuts (1) (768x1024).jpg

          nuts (2) (768x1024).jpg

          as you can see my husband's nuts are clearly getting out of hand & I don't want them taking over my whole triangle! [​IMG]

                  To avoid overcrowding, your husband's nuts should be cut off with a sharp pruning saw. :snork:
