Someone had a brainwave!

Even when he were twirling the canes on the top wire, our new brilliant idea from Italy, we wondered how we would get them off. Given how high they are, how much they have tangled as they grew and just how painful pulling out is after pruning anyway. “It’s too bad we can’t use the pre-pruner,” We said, and then it dawned, we could use the pre-pruner, that dangerous looking machine in the photo, except we would use it as a post-pruned. After-pruner, not prune the posts out, although it looks like it could. So all we needed to do was cut out the old wood, roll on the new canes and leave the tangled mess above for the pre-pruner and bingo a difficult job made easier. So this year when we twist on the growing canes we will know getting them off again won’t be a problem. Someone did have a brainwave!
