Here at Castle Fruit Farm the shop is full of fruit and Autumn colours. New Bentleys Delicious Plum Relish range is looking good in its presentation box. A perfect gift idea?!

The apple and plum blossom have been spectacular this last month. We are involved with the University of Bristol who are researching wildlife and modern orcharding . A great link up for us who gave us the intereseting feedback that we had 10 different types of hover fly in our Jazz and Gala orchards ! These unpaid workers are crucial for the harvest so we are very glad to know they are out there.

The Valor plums as always are the first into blossom. They should be in full bloom by the end of the weekend. Pruning of plums should best be done when the sap is rising to avoid disease and so today, March 22, we have started pruning.
