During college vacations experience was gained working in top fruit orchards, bedding plant and tomato nurseries, before doing two year national service were the army paid for lessons in floristry!

Returning to Cramphorn the seed and garden retail company, he worked in all areas of nursery production, mail order and shows becoming nursery director. Then after four years on the road for Bord na Mona, travelling in the South East of England and the Channel Isles as their technical representative, he became a consultant to leading wholesale nursery companies, a director of two separate garden centre companies and gave advice to many independent horticultural businesses.

Thank you for such a great video. I have a 20ft high and spread bramley apple tree that I've been reducing in height over the past 3 years. This year I have lots of new vertical growths and wish to start pruning. Would you advise pruning in January/February or wait until March. Thanks Steve
