Pruning the Orchard

One of the most difficult jobs we set one of the crews to task, was that of pruning the orchard. It is in rough shape, after being left without care for many months- water, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Many of the tress have died or are dying, so we're trying to rescue as many as possible, as quickly as possible!



The orchard consists of Mango, Rose Apple, Tamarind, Orange, Lumyae, and various other varieties we've never seen in the western world before.

Our desire is to keep the orchard organic for the children's health and for a premium price at the market. Thank the Lord for a great contact with a fruit orchard specialist from Thailand's premiere agricultural university, who will be assisting us with our concerns.
