Thanks to players of the People's Postcode Lottery a grant from the Postcode Places Trust means we can now attend more events and deliver more local variety fruit trees across the region. @PostcodeLottery
Would Bagpuss bring something like this to Stamford Apple Day at the Arts Centre on Saturday 1st October?
June 6th - and having been stored in a cool shed since October 2020 our Norfolk Beefing cookers are still perfectly OK. What a remarkable old variety this is !
Just lining out customer orders. Thanks for helping us preserve our heritage orchard varieties. More at applesandorchards.org.uk
Not super-sized cherries but blood red 'Norfolk Beefing' apples ripening in the East of England Fruit Collection.
Live in Beds, Cambs, Essex, Herts, Lincs, Norfolk or Suffolk and missing Apple Days? Don't worry, you can always post us your unidentifed fruits for naming. Contact us for more details.

A class act as Astley School pupils finish their new orchard.
That's over 400 schools orchards now completed, and counting...
Busy times in the packing shed - just dispatched 350 fruit trees to 61 customers, of which 46 were local schools.
Don't worry it was a four year old Warner's King apple tree. The ten foot high shelter belt didn't seem to work that day! teapawt.net/englishsparrow/status/…
Down, but not out - if summer gales become the norm we'll all have to start using stronger tree stakes in future
Make sure you make it too on Sunday 16th October @GressenhallFW.
@orchardsproject and much more...
