PRUNING 2019

I am pleased to say that we have now done our 2019  apple and pear pruning with the help of Jan Lambourn.  Some of the trees sadly are still showing some canker meaning that we had to prune quite severely in places but on the whole we are pleased with growth and there are some good fruit buds fattening up.  The Mirabelle are already in full flower.
The harvest will all depend now on whether we get frosts at the time the blossoms are opening.
We are very much hoping it will be a better year for the pears which were marvellous in 2017 but very disappointing in 2018.
