blackberry crumble.. mmm

The bees suffered here during the cold snowy winter, and we dont think the trees were pollonated very well. (thats the only reason we can think of anyway) We have a small orchard opposite our house, plus some trees in the garden. And i would say theres about 75% less apples than previous years, and most apples that are on the trees are poor form.

 

Yeah am the same I have about 8 apple trees, pear tree and a plumb tree. The apple crop is about the same 60 - 70% down, the plumb tree is way down compared to previous years. And our damson tree has died. The wife wont be making as much chutney this year.
