Such great observations! Thank you for sharing! Makes sense about the pruning as that might explain why the tree was so productive this year. His dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's a few years ago, so he hasn't been able to do as much physical labor as he used to (like pruning trees). I love that imagery of the circle of energy between the tree and the fruit. We saw lots of bees buzzing around the fruit, as well, which always makes me happy knowing how precarious the bee situation is right now! Hooray for autumn indeed! My favorite time of year. :)
