Fruity

looks like you will have a good crop there..
I have a very small orchard too, approx 5 trees but its very rewarding and we are already picking and eating apples this year..

lovely to see a new orchard - so many have been distroyed, hope you enjoy the fruit.

Nice blog Guy..I would have fruit trees ..but where to put them! lol Maybe I could plant some in the fat lazy neighbours garden..I;m sure they dont eat fruit anyways hahah.
Looks great tho..you have quite a big garden then? :))

Hi Guy! The fruit trees have done you proud! And you're already eating fruit? Mine haven't even a glimmer of ripening! Although when they do, especially the plums and pears...the dang fox gets them first! He can climb up the trees too, I've seen him, but they are on dwarf rootstocks so they're only about 10 ft or so, but still!
Maybe the two trees that were there when you moved in, haven't got the right pollinators to make them produce fruit? Just a thought! Lovely blog!

Lovely to see and with new trees planted they may help pollinate those that haven`t fruited before.
Pixi have you got an arch you could grow them up, my two plum trees are grown this way and are very productive.

Great to see those fruit trees ... we are thinking of planting an apple tree 'Discovery' on the allotment ... inspired after seeing a pic of one in Karensusan's garden . . . . .

Lovely orchard you have there Skips:)

I have a 'Discovery' apple Shirley! It's a fantastic wee tree, it's on a dwarf root stock, so it's only about 7ft tall! I eat them and cook with them, and they look lovely on the tree...they're like bright red Christmas baubles!

lovely orchard and fruit skips ... should get a good crop :)

Hijacking your blog, sorry Skips! ....Libet, we looked in a GC today for one, but none of their fruit trees or bushes looked particularly healthy! No 'Discovery' there either ... the search goes on ... :o)

Would the yellow fruit you don't know be green gauges, or south african mirabelle plum, pear trees can take up to 20 years to fruit, it fruits quicker if you have another one close by it. I feed all mine in spring.
