Tree Planting Continues!

It was a year ago exactly that our adventure started – January 2020.

As soon as we were able to, in February 2020, we planted 1100 beech trees to create our hedge and boundary.

In November 2020, The Woodland Trust generously donated 420 trees to create a wind break and add some more to the hedge. We added those over November and December.

Last week, we have finally started planting fruits in the actual planting area. We have chosen a mix of 40 trees and bushes: pear Concorde, Merton Pride, dwarf tree “petite poire”, Apples trees (James Grieve, Discovery, Sunset, Kidd’s, Laxton’s Superb). We have planted lots of plums too: Damson and some lovely Mirabelles – those little yellow plums that are so delicious and fruit at the end of the summer. We have raspberries coming next week.

At last, we have decided to be a bit more ambitious and have chosen peaches, apricots , nectarines, and even kiwi!

We can’t wait for Summer !!
