Our latest tree planting project was to donate six apple saplings of different varieties to Fairclose Farm which were planted on Sunday 9th October 2022. Each tree was planted inside the zigzag fencing giving it some extra protection from the sheep. We will be able to watch these grow as we walk past the orchard.
They are planted in this order (walking away from the yard):
1: Reverend Wilkes
2: Ashmead’s Kernel
3: Blenheim Orange
4: King of the Pippins
5: Egremont Russet
6: Tom Putt
The group gave them a good soaking, and they will make sure they get watered regularly until we start getting some regular rain.
