We took delivery of nine heritage fruit trees on 27th March and had them all planted by the end of the month. One was an apple (Court of Wick) to replace the Cox's Permona that we lost in the summer last year. The other eight bare root trees comprised of four pears,a plum, two damsons and a Medlar. Perhaps the most "Warwickshire" tree is the Warwickshire Drooper plum, so called for the trees drooping branches. We established a new orchard in the very distinct Oxbow which is a very tight loop on the river and difficult to mow, therefore it suits an orchard better, so lets see how they like it in there! The trees were supplied by The Heritage Fruit Tree Company and were all a good size and in perfect health. Now to learn how to prune properly!
