Well folks, the inevitable has happened......
While pruning back the apple tree, I was attacked by a rogue choko !
I was looking up and trimming a branch when the choko fell about 3 metres, hitting me over my left eye - no permanent damage but I now have a headache. So if you are growing chokos upwardly - beware !

Yeah, M3 I'm OK now, just a bit stunned at the time - beaned by a choko, how embarrasing! At least my family was able to derive some merriment out of it

Posting about it in the 'Knock yourself out' section was an inspired choice. No lasting damage I hope.
Growing things is just so dangerous - backache when you grow things at ground level; headache when you grow them higher up. I expect the Health & Safety Executive to come up with a rule that says all growing things must be between 18" and 48" from the ground.
