The three fruit trees which we ordered from Sutton's arrived last Wednesday so it was important to get them planted as soon as possible. A couple of days 'storage' in the conservatory occasionally dipped in a trug of water made sure they remained hydrated and I finally got the three areas dug and prepared yesterday after Linda had come down with me to make sure they were going to be planted in the correct positions.
We now have an almond tree (Sweet Mandaline), plum tree (Victoria) and apple tree (Lord Lambourne) though to be honest, apart from the almond tree they do look more like twigs! Still, they come well-regarded and are at least 18 months old, feathered trees.
Time will tell but if they can get established this year I'm hoping we'll have blossom and fruit to look forward to in 2012.
