[QUOTE="Hjcarter, post: 7835836, member: 81702"] We've 5000ish trees over 15 acres between Nottingham and Derby. 5 varieties - Harry masters Jersey, dabinett, yarlington mill, three counties and red Falstaff. They're all Cider varieties. Planted in 17, 18 & 19 so starting to develop a crop. We recovered to just over 4 ton this year after being battered by frost last year. We spray a bit of fert but not so much pesticides. We are working hard on getting the ground right which will take a couple more years. Our customers are mainly local cider producers but we'll need to expand in future - probably more northward. Main things we've learned so far: know your ground and get it right, hygiene under the trees and be patient!! [/QUOTE]
