I like Red Windsor more and more, it was the first of my apple trees in the 2010 orchard to flower this year, at the end of March, and is just beginning to shed its petals now. Pretty tree, annual bearing, troublefree and the apples have good flavour for dessert or juicing.
This is one of the best apple-blossom years I can remember, trees coming into flower a month early and up till tonight ( chillier by the hour) have had very little stress, its been mainly calm and sunny with a lot of overnight dew. As you say, Bodger, the perfume has been sweet, flowery and appley this season, maybe because there have been so few storms.
Looking over my shoulder out of the orchard window, every one of the 40 large trees is flowering in the old orchard, only about ten still to come in the new planting. |
