Pruning season unfolds in a tranquil hazelnut orchard nestled in the rolling landscapes of New South Wales. A worker in a vibrant orange safety vest carefully trims and shapes the bare branches of young hazelnut trees, their silhouette standing out against the muted green and brown winter palette. The orchard reveals a meticulous agricultural practice, with evenly spaced trees showing the precise planning of modern nut cultivation. Dormant branches reach outward, displaying the intricate skeletal structure of the trees before spring's renewal, while patches of grass hint at the rich soil supporting this carefully managed crop. The worker moves methodically, each cut strategically made to encourage future growth and maximize the orchard's productivity. A white marker or post in the foreground suggests careful field management, reflecting the precision and care inherent in Australian agricultural practices.
