New Apple Trees

We have just planted two new apple trees (Pixie and Ashmead's Kernal) replacing two with canker (George Cave). These two new dessert apples are late croppers
and good keepers so we hope they do well. Again they are on MM106 rootstock to keep their growth in check, and we have chosen "maidens" which are year
old whips, ie just a single stem so that they will establish well and we can demonstrate how to prune them.
