I'm looking for a skilled gardener to take care of a small backyard orchard. The tasks include pruning apple and pear trees, removing any diseased branches, and ensuring proper spacing and health. I’d like guidance on seasonal pruning, pest prevention, and fertilization. The space is accessible by standard garden tools, and I prefer someone who can assess tree vigor and provide recommendations for ongoing care. Availability should be on weekdays, and I’d appreciate clear communication about what’s being done and why, along with a rough timeline for the season.
