Saturday, September 24^th 2011 Matthew, Xander and I along with our neighbours Hans & Jan Weichbrodt all had our first experience with a controlled burning of what we believed to be Prunus Armeniaca (8-12 metre apricot tree hedge) cuttings. We were informed the plant is either Prunus Salicina or Prunus Mume more commonly known as Japanese Plum on our 1.3150 hectares (3.25 acres).
