Planting Fruit Trees and Cutting Down Pine

Felling Pine Trees
We cut down some big pine trees on our homestead for firewood and to make benches and seating (in the future). This will make space for the small native trees already growing and let light reach some big olive trees.

Our friends Maggie and James have already been here for a week and we're joined by another friend, John (Dovey).

James has been watching ‪@BuckinBillyRaySmith‬ on YouTube for the last 3 months and is keen to put all that he's learned into practice.

He also shares a great tip to measure where your tree will land (work out the length using simple geometry) with an axe.

Planting Trees
We continue our farm tradition, where our visitors take part in planting trees.
Lemon tree, Pear tree, Peach tree, and hazelnut tree.
