Do you prune that tree? I think maybe if you cut it shorter (so that you could reach to the top on a ladder, but no higher), you *might* end up with sweeter fruit. I'm no expert. This is my first year with a fruit tree. We were told that the sweetest fruit grows on the wood that is less than two years old.Alex Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562233895276078957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-37193698460882102972012-08-30T14:17:51.778+01:002012-08-30T14:17:51.778+01:00LH will need to leave the cider until at least Mar...LH will need to leave the cider until at least March, or it will be not very nice. We leave ours until the apple blossom had finished next spring, as you get a secondary fermentation when the trees blossom again - strange, but true.<br /><br />We love our cider - we make about 80 L of cider and around 50 bottles of pasturised juice every year ( but not this year as the apple harvest is a bit poor!)Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-59986588159432486942012-08-30T13:37:31.123+01:002012-08-30T13:37:31.123+01:00No apples on our trees this year,but hopefully we&...No apples on our trees this year,but hopefully we'll have enough next year because Chris wants to make apple wine.<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.com
