I took some time to start tidying some overgrown blackthorn at the orchard, where it's encroaching the fruit trees. I cut the bushes to leave stumps about 30cm high. We'll pull them up later with our Extractigator tool, but I wanted to get started before the wildbird nesting season. Here's a video if you'd like to get a feel for the work. Cutting down blackthorn is a hard job as these bushes a laden with thorns, of which the tips are coated with bacteria and fungus that can cause a nasty infected wound. Thorn proof gloves are essential for this work.
