What happens here

The speaker, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, explains that with warmer spring weather arriving in North Carolina, there is an urgency to prune fruit trees. He mentions having approximately 65 fruit trees on his farm, grown for homesteading purposes rather than commercial production. The goal is to provide fruit for various uses like making cider, vinegar, wine, and fresh consumption. He plans to offer basic guidelines for pruning, focusing on late winter/early spring when trees are not yet budding, minimizing pest and disease risk.

Goal: The video introduces the topic of fruit tree pruning in late winter/early spring, highlighting its importance for homesteading fruit production (cider, vinegar, wine, and fresh eating).
