The Burn Pit. One final hurrah before harvest.

So the pruning and thinning is finished. The activity at the orchard from the members is only on youth night. The service missionaries are still working doing many things. Fertilizing, watering, removing large peach clusters, shoring up heavy branches so they don’t break from the weight of the fruit. The list is long and never ending. One thing that is done each year is the burning of all the wood from pruning and removing old trees, trunks, and roots. This is a controlled and permitted burn.
