I moved to a new build two years ago and with larger garden decided to try my inexperienced hand at growing fruit trees. My favourite apple “Cox’s Orange Pippin” but told the variety does not do well in the North East but took a chance. It has grown well and looks content but its first year 2020 harvest TWO SMALL APPLES. They were high winds on Monday and Tuesday this week and one apple blown on the ground. On investigation second apple dropped into my hand – two miserable looking specimens. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, cut one in half at lunchtime today – joy oh joy, smelt like a Cox and sweet taste burst through like one too. Whoopy!! DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER – OR AN APPLE BY ITS SKIN.
