A few tips on pruning fruit trees. Make the cuts on all crossover branches & allow air to circulate through the centre of the tree using a clean blade. Cut out any diseased or dead branches & try to make the cuts downward facing. When finished, paint the cuts with a pruning paint to avoid disease getting in. With the smaller branches, always cut back to a bud again using clean secateurs. In early spring give the tree a good feed.

    • The Oxfam shop refusal may be because they have very limited storage space at the back of their very small shop?
    • I agree. The staff are always lovely!  
    • Hi, does anyone know anything about the generator that seems to run from 7am every day in the car park of Dominic Court off The Gardens? I live in a property that backs on to that car park and it’s incredibly noisy and fumey. It’s been there for a long time now and it looks like it’s powering a site office for construction workers. Does anyone have any information about how long it will be there for, and who is operating it? I worry about the quality of the air as it’s like having a truck running constantly. And it’s very annoying to have it rumbling all day.    
    • Most charity shops will take rags for textile recycling. I’ve also donated to Christopher’s, Shelter on LL and Scope in Camberwell. The only one I’ve known to refuse is the Oxfam in Herne Hill.
