Prompted by JJB's post about cutting down a cherry tree that didn't deliver, I thought I'd ask at what point do you decide that a fruit tree or bush is a Waste of Space?
Last year I cut down 3 plum trees that had very few plums and were diseased. Unfortunately, the stumps are still there and they're shooting & suckering like crazy.
I've been hacking back a peach tree that is too tall and it overshadows the bean patch. The final straw was finding that a CFB had scrambled up into the tree, totally out of picking reach. It had very little fruit this year and what there was, was too high up to reach and bag. It'll be going soon.
There are others, with question marks over their heads too.
How about yours?
