oakey 57 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 There seems to be a few apples about this year although i keep hearing that they are going to be scarce now its getting close to cider making time im starting to think of how much the price of apples is going to go up and whether its still worth making as i can buy scrumpy at £6.50 a gallon already done i think ill have to put my counting head on and do the sums.

PeakOil 352 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I had a mooch down to what was once a small orchard, but has been forgotten for a couple of decades to find some c**t has cut down what remained of the apple trees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Duncan 802 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 My own apple tree is having its best year ever after a year or two off, same for the plum tree Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tegater 789 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 We have an Apple tree in our garden, I don't know what variety but it is an eater, and it is usually covered in apples. This year not one. Very few bees though and this must be my first year ever I haven't seen a wasp. Pretty grim for insects we need! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Duncan 802 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Last two years I've had very little from my apple or plum; for me it looks like my fruit famine is over. I was beginning to think the trees were having time off. This year my trees have produced tons of fruit - enough for us and family and friends.
