Almonds at blockhill

In addition to this monavale specimen we have a couple of established soft shelled trees that I pruned heavily last year. These are located out in the main orchard and have put on a lot of new growth, bushing out nicely.

From beneath these I have potted up several seedlings and these have now been planted out into the new orchard. So, trees at various stages.

Other nuts

We have also planted a number of walnuts, several sweet chestnuts and some hazelnut bushes

First blossoms of the season

First blossoms of the season

One of the young almond trees we planted in the new orchard last year was the first tree to blossom.

This is an early variety called monavale. I only hope it is not too early as we have been getting the odd frost.
