Owner's comments

Very tall and scraggly; branches breaking; will only get about a half dozen fruit this year, 2012. (Used an extendable pruner and a long stick with a bucket attached. And two people.) I read pruning may cause disease, but in my case I should take the risk, since there is hardly any fruit.
