A group in Sheffield shaking trees to get the fruit off and passing it on to local groups and charities. I can't think of a single apple tree on public land where I live - am I just not looking hard enough? Should the govt plant a fruit tree for every person all around the UK? The nature reserve (1) I help look after has apples, cherries and plums. Working parties in the right season are very pleasant ;-) (1) It's an urban reclaimed site (with old mill ponds, stream and surrounding fields) so as well as the native stuff, we get gifts from local gardeners. That sounds interesting - how long has it been a nature reserve? Since sometime in the 1980s - the Mill closed in the 60s, the council 'landscaped' it so it became an unofficial rubbish tip. Local man got permission to tidy it and start planting, and we took over when he died in 1994. Website in definite need of updating, but tells a bit about it: www.enginefields.org.uk Thanks! -- http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |
