Fruit - Trees

The apple tree is loaded as usual. The pear tree seems to have quite a lot of small pears, but they're dropping off.

The cooking apple tree by the shed has just two apples on it. The tree isn't in good shape since the fox dug underneath it and partially uprooted it, so I think I'll just remove the tree.

The old plum tree (Victoria) seems to be alive, albeit with only 2 plums on it this year. The newer plum tree (Czar) that was planted a few years ago to replace the old plum tree, seems to have died of some sort of fungus. I'll cut that down soon. If the old plum tree doesn't produce anything worthwhile next year, I'll cut that down too. In any case, there are plenty of plum trees out in the streets.

The new cherry and peach tree seem to be growing well, plenty of greenery on both trees.

We managed to pick enough elderflowers to make some elderflower wine and elderflower cordial. The only thing that stopped us picking more was the lack of sunshine: elderflowers should be picked on a sunny day (apparently). There will be plenty of elderberries this year, so hopefully that will give us several gallons of elderberry wine.
