Orchard


There is a new way of creating orchards and producing good fruit. The old orchards had trees that were taller, difficult to harvest. So, newer, dwarf varieties were tried. Now, the branches of the trees are cut away and pruned, having been planted in laser-straight rows. Wires and poles provide support for them, much as one would find in a vineyard. Apparently the yield is very rich and plentiful. The above picture was taken near Blue Mountains, Ontario.

Wonderfully fruitful, but something seems wrong with all of this . . .
