Crab Apples (Malus)

I am afraid these are not in my garden, but a bountiful crop in the offing for a neighbour. Also, being nosy, I can spy many healthy laden fruit trees in other gardens, as well as wild fruit trees in hedgerows and the countryside.

Maybe a bumper crop of Apples…. and of course Cider. Could it be the mild but wet winter, followed by warm spells in Spring and no strong winds to destroy the blossom, in turn followed by two heat waves (or is it three) have all worked there magic. Not bad for July.

Have a good day, enjoy and as always….

Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
