From the lush gardens of Charing, Kent, to the grandeur of Versailles, pruning has been an art passed down through generations. With a felling axe in hand, Harry (Heathfield) the Hedger skillfully shapes nature's beauty. Lady Coursing revels in the bountiful harvest Royale: Prunus Domestica. In the 1500s, garden irrigation techniques were perfected alongside this delicate fruit. Transported to Paris in 1690, Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie captures the essence of a perfect gardener's work - pruning and training vines up trellises at Versailles. Still life paintings from the 17th century depict plums and prunes as symbols of abundance and indulgence. The allure of prunes transcends time and borders; it is celebrated in French art with vibrant colors and exquisite detail. The white blossoms adorning prune trees evoke promises of future sweetness. Even ancient texts like Commentarii in Sex Libros Pedacii Dioscoridis pay homage to prunes' significance by featuring them prominently in hand-colored woodcuts dating back to 1544-85. Fast forward to Yakima, Washington in 1939 - Dorothea Lange immortalizes hardworking hands packing fresh prunes at night during busy seasons on Produce Row. A testament to both tradition and progress. Pruning is not just about shaping trees; it is an act that connects us with our past while nurturing growth for tomorrow. Let us savor each bite of these succulent fruits that have stood the test of time.
