Holly: I have a couple of apples, a peach, 7 cherries, about 12 plums, 3 apricots, and 4 pears that still have to be pruned.

I am located about 10 miles. north of the Idaho panhandle and just below Kootenay Lake.
The property lies in a small microclimate that gives me a zone 5/6 Canadian version or 6/7 US version. One acre of land at an elevation of 1770', just off the edge of a flood plain. Sandy loam soil, hot days and cool nights (55F).

Well that's a heckalotta pruning. You'd best get busy man. One at a time, one day at a time. Still too early here to start pruning, but today I must finish pulling out the tomatoes. The freeze has come and overnight, everything is black.

Take it slow.

Whew, I'm glad your sense of well being has returned. Try not to do everything in one day. You'll run out of menthol rub before Spring!
