Hello old friends - apologies because I'm a bit rusty on messaging.
We've recently taken on a brand new garden in Essex and planted 3 fruit trees (hoping they will be pollinated but that's another issue). We're waiting for the leaves to fall so that we can prune/shape them. I noticed today the apple tree has beautiful flower buds forming on the edge of each branch (which I had hoped to prune). Will I be doing the tree/s a favour by ridding them of premature buds before the frosts, or will I cause damage?
Many thanks, Sue X
