Hopefully it won't be time to cry Rest In Peace but won't know 'til I get out the saw and cut one of my babies back, way back!

Some of our trees were really weakened by the big ice storm (past December). And perhaps because of the severe winter it also contributed to a very heavy fruit production. The limbs were really bowing down low with fruit, then we had a big T-storm with high winds, and that was all she wrote!

Some of the plums are finishing ripening, so will wait a few days to observe them further. Maybe just the little bit of attachment to the main part of the tree is enuff for them to ripen (altho I doubt they'll get to full size).

At the very worse, I guess the chickens will be eating good, eh? τΏτ
