The trimming of the trees takes place late summer and is done by my son in law and his brother by hand, each and every tree. Electric trimmers and it takes about 3 days a few hours each day when the time is right. Usually late afternoon or early morning. When they find the time. I have some pictures of the old fields but the new field pictures are filed someplace and I can not find them. When the rain stops I will take one for you. You can also see the farm on http://www.Roblynfarm.com which is their website. That is updated each year with pictures and dates, etc. We will soon update it for this year. We do not have alot of trees to sell this year. Maybe 600 or so, but usually there are 1500 to pick from. We are very small compared to some tree farms. But. this is what we can handle and considering we have no help except family, it is enough. Yesterday I cut the baby field grass between the trees. It takes me an hour to cut that field. The big field takes alot longer because the rows are more difficult to get between with the big trees growth in the way. We use alot of weed killer in the tree rows. I hate to see a tree farm with weeds between the trees. Here is one field.
