This is the second part of a series on the life expectancy of fruit trees. We continue with the planned renewal of the cherry trees at the British National Fruit Collection in Brogdale, United Kingdom.
Being guided through the cherry collection at Brogdale last week felt like being transported into an Eden of colours, shapes and tastes.
Apples, pears and stone fruit such as plums and cherries are pruned at different times of year. Although many people don’t do it, it brings great benefits, and is quite an enjoyable activity.
