Thus far we have pruned the Pomegranate and Pecan trees. We've also pruned the roses and pulled all the brown plant material out of the Iris and Asparagus beds. The branches and leaves all go through the chipper to reduce it to a nice mulch, which then goes around the roses and along walking paths into the garden. The birds love it - which is the one drawback to making our own mulch. They seem to come from all over to find the perfect twigs for their nests, and remember to come back when the Apricots and Grapes are getting ripe.
In the next month or so we'll prune the grapes and the frost-bitten citrus trees, and perhaps thin out the bamboo to keep it under control.
