Apple trees in in the polycrub do very well.
Those outside haven't produced any fruit in the years we have been here. And the applecrub is an attempt to improve things. We also moved some to the east-facing bank to see if they would do any better . And earlier this year , the fruit cage for the raspberries went on the western side of the trees on the bank. And either the little bit of protection, or a better summer- but its not obviously been so - that is offered has improved things - and we have more fruit on these trees that we have had so far
So how about some protection from the East ?
Currently there are some struggling specimens
So they need replacing . Its damp down there - so willow should do well. And we've had some cuttings . So they needs moving
But they also need protecting, principally from the geese ,who will eat anything they can get to , including onions .
So some posts and netting :
And we will see what happens over the winter and into the spring next year
