My fruit trees

[carol43]

I have two Ballerina apple trees and one pear and over the years they have produced perhaps 10 apples and four pears. This year, however, they are covered in fruit. As I was diagnosed in March this year they are mocking my diabetes.

The polite name is Murphy's law. I have a greengage (banned) and blackcurrant (cautious consumption). The apricot I have despaired of fruiting so it's not so bad. We are about to buy a house with an orchard of 3 Bramleys and 2 pear trees. Ho hum.
Just think how much damage you might have done to yourself if you hadn't found the forum!
Er, does that help at all?

Hubby used to eat most of our apples. This year it seems the winter apples will yield astonishingly and I'm on my own now. I might try to sell most of them.

Come to think of it, has anyone made wine from apples?

@Totto sorry for your loss x


Apple cider vinegar production might be a good way to use up apples and may even lower bg levels. Has anyone tried making their own?

I feel your pain. We have a pinot noir grape vine, two Brown Turkey fig trees, blackberry straggler and three olive trees in our garden.

Get a log burner, that way the trees come in handy for a while at least!
