Thread Name: Folklore: The English Apple
Subject: RE: BS: The English Apple
Do not seem to do too well with planting our own fruit trees here although that old tree who's fruit I linked to just thrives and crops heavily in the bit of field we rent. We do have a young Bramley that looks healthy and a much newer breed - scruptios that are looking OK.


The next tree here is not to apple. Got chatting to a really nice chap into fruit trees -orangepippin.com -   where I originally emailed wanting to to identify the old apple... things (or I) drift and I mention a disappointment here is a planted by us but in name old gage tree - it only cropped well once and then all the fruit split...We are going to give oullins gage a whirl as a result.
