"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now."
Alexey Andreevic Arakceev

We have to weigh up whether and in what form we can - and want to - offer solutions and benefits with our core competence. Wanting to do "everything for the customer", literally wanting to make everything possible for every customer, is generally uneconomical, It leads to a huge product range, to a confusing vendor's tray, to enormously high costs and to an overburdened organization. It is better to limit oneself and do "the right thing for the right customers".

Finally something personal

For more than 35 years I have been trying to explain to my apple trees in which direction they should go. I have learned a lot from them in the process, and since becoming a certified landscape fruit grower, I at least live in the belief that I can discuss things at eye level. Even if I probably still argue too quickly, the arguments fall on fertile ground, at least for me.
