Last September i went on a local apple hunt to find fruiting trees with great flavour. I found several ancient trees located near to one another and decided to try to raise my own apple variety.
Several apples later and some invaluable help from FB and I'm glad to report that I've had some success. Whilst i won't have a fruiting tree for 4 years (3 to go) i now have 15 apple seedlings.
There's something quite magical about seeing seeds that you planted poke their heads through the soil 6-8 months after they were sown. It's fair to say that this may all end in tears but regardless of the flavour I'll be proud of any tree that i raise.
Here's to wishful thinking
