Apple trees available to buy at Thompson & Morgan.
I’m a big fan of people growing their own fruit. It’s not difficult to plant a tree or two and you can pick small varieties if you don’t have space. Fruit trees are fantastic value for money. You get a small crop at the beginning off them but each year they grow and grow and produce more fruit. You’ll easily repay the cost of the tree within a few years and there is nothing better than picking your own apples and eating them! They’ll taste so much fresher than any you can buy and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you grew it yourself. Planting instructions are included and are easy to follow.
Why not buy a neighbour a tree too and then you can start building up a whole orchard of trees on your street! A fruit tree can be bought as a gift – and if your neighbour doesn’t want to pick the apples then ask if you can!
Even if you don’t pick them in the middle of winter the birds will eat them as they fall to the ground – birds love crab apples too and these have very pretty blossom too!
Growing an apple tree is something we should all try and do!
Apples are delicious to eat raw, or cook them and use in pies of crumbles, press them and make apple juice or cider! One of my neighbours even has an apple tree in his front garden and it’s great to see it go from blossom in the spring to apples in the autumn and then get to see the amount of juice he gets from it!
