Goodbye to the Old Apple Tree

This winter we have decided to remove the old apple tree at the top of the orchard. It was blown down many years ago, but still managed to survive and keep growing although its trunk was lying on the ground. It has started to rot and we have decided now is the time to take it down along with an old holly bush which has grown up through it. Rob and Derek spent an afternoon cutting it down and we now have a good supply of logs. I am amazed how much more space there is in the orchard.
