485: Cider as a Catalyst for Chile's Edible Forest
Q: Are you noticing any change in the quality of the apples for cider making?
The main effect we've seen from this project has been the pruning, which has changed the blend from the trees we've pruned, but not the quality yet.
485: Cider as a Catalyst for Chile's Edible Forest
Q: I was just wondering if you had any concerns early on or any issues over pruning.
We had some issues because that tree was fine and wild. And after pruning, some of them lose some branches because they have a very good structure. So it's not so easy to prune it.
