Look athttp://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/lewis/and see id that looks
bleak enough. Then look in the dry-stone-walled garden of the
crofthouse. The green things are apple trees.

Yes, that looks pretty bleak :-)
I have been advised that fruit trees don't like wind so I was hoping
there might be some exceptionally resilient varieties.
Do you know what variety of apple the trees are?

Thanks
