[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 7332853, member: 48190"] Be wary when replanting apple orchards with apples as specific replant disease can be a problem: [URL]https://apples.ahdb.org.uk/apple-replant-disease.asp[/URL] Avoiding planting exactly where trees have previously been grown should be sufficient and using more vigorous stocks. I have seen apple, perry pear and cherry orchards successfully grazed by sheep and even cows in the case of mature cider orchards. I have never heard of any hazard to livestock in the UK from cherry, damson or plum trees, after all the woods and hedges are full of similar Prunus species. Blackmoors do good trees: [URL]https://www.blackmoor.co.uk/[/URL] and Southern Fruit Trees across the road: [URL]https://www.southernfruittrees.co.uk/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
