I am not sure if this has been posted, but I found it interesting.  There are some old pictures of fig trees that have been pruned in orchard production.

I must agree, that was quite a read. "gene"

Why not write a review after " quite a read ". There is no 'Review' written yet.

Good question, I just quickly read about 60 percent of it and had no time to really comment on it. Perhaps I'll find time later. "gene"

How did you read it on line? I could not get to read it.
I thought you were kidding so that is why I said to write the review.

Terowan,
thanks for posting that . I have not seen this one before and it was long on the eyes.
There were some points of interest for me as well.

Ottawan, I took you for being serious, me of all people. I had no problem reading it. It was as clear as day. There are some great old pictures of trees and orchards, ways of pruning and much more. What I found very interesting is the frequent mentioning of Louisiana in it. I'll have to go back and read the rest of it. I sure there's something in there that I need to know. It is long, I'm thinking 18 pages maybe or even more. Like I said a good read.
