You may like to know that it has given me some lovely little apples this year - more than any previous year. And they are delicious!

I think they are Lord Lambourn, which I have learned is a cross of James Grieve and Worcester Pearmain. They are a bit like a Cox's Orange Pippin, but much sweeter. Yummy!

Lovely - it's so nice to keep the old varieties.
We have the start of a 'Community Orchard' at the allotments. Local and heritage varieties. Lots of baby trees planted around the perimeter but they were only planted last year as whips, so they've a bit of growing still to do. Some fruit though.

That's delightful! Did you spray? Here apples are generally ruined if you don't; the people across the alley had an apple tree that was glorious in bloom, but the apples which were heavily produced were weevilly (is that a word?), and inedible. Yours look lovely...and I like your china pattern too!

No - no spray at all Eileen. Just picked off the tree, a bit rain washed and eaten straight away!
