This afternoon, my wife and and continued the pruning of our allotment orchard, a quarter of an acre in size with some very old trees which produce superb fruit. Egremont Russets, Cox, Crispin, Kidd’s Orange, Blenheim Orange, Worcester and Adam’s Pearmain, and some others. It takes a few weeks to knock it into shape plus  manure round the base of each tree when all is completed. Sometimes it’s good to prune the collection and you will find I have a number of ‘bundles’ of notes listed at low prices, just ideal to fill the gaps.
