The orchard is bursting into life with Spring flowers and baby fruit. Many wildflowers remain in the borders, but we are now keeping the grass and weeds short in the main field to reduce growing competition for the fruit trees.
The Serbian Gold Quince is looking particularly healthy with attractive pink flowers just opening.

The cherries will bear fruit this year too, though we might pinch off 75% to avoid draining the young trees of energy.
