What I need for the orchard area will be some trees that hopefully will bear fruit in years to come. I decided I would go with Welsh varieties of fruit trees and that led me to Ian Sturrock who seems to be a bit of a guru when it comes to welsh varieties and generally looking after an orchard. I gave him a call late afternoon expecting a brief chat about stock and prices and he kept me on line giving me loads of ideas about the task in hand. I learned a lot more about fruit trees and was very grateful. Mind you, I can only remember the one welsh variety on offer, Goose’s arse was the name. Looks like I need to make progress with the site if I am to get my stock from him before he goes on holiday next month.
Must find the help and materials to construct the supports for the orchard before I can progress.
