"Pruned Fruit Trees"

This is a little embarrassing to admit.  I was amazed the first time I saw a real fruit orchard.  I had an ah-ha moment when I saw that the trees were kept small and neatly pruned enabling the fruit to flourish and be easily harvested.  The only fruit trees I ever saw when I was young were big scraggly fruit trees that were fun to climb but didn't bear much fruit.  I actually had a sense of relief when I saw a well manicured fruit orchard at one of my daughters field trips years ago.
