Wind resistant fruit trees....
The message
from
contains these words:
I live in a very windy part of the country with a prevailing wind that
comes straight up the valley at the end of my garden and carries up
the garden until it hits my house. The wind can be quite persistent
and is often quite strong. Often it can be very blustery.
Ok, that sets the scene. Now, I want to grow 1 or 2 fruit trees in my
garden!!!!
Are there any trees that yield a reasonable crop of 'pick and eat'
fruit that could withstand this sort of wind?
Most of them I should think.

Look at

and see id that looks
bleak enough. Then look in the dry-stone-walled garden of the
crofthouse. The green things are apple trees.
It is reckoned that Lewis is hit on average by two force 12 winds per year...
