Orchard

The apple orchard was planted between 2006 and 2011 with 8 pear trees added on the western side in January 2012.

The apples are heritage species, mostly local ones.

The planting plan looks like this. On the ground the second row does not quite line up with the rows below. A recent inspection shows that one of the last 3 in the 2nd row is missing, presumed dead.

When you pick the fruit, twist them off rather than pull to avoid damaging the trees.
