Trees for a small space

Having a small garden doesn’t rule out being able to plant a tree, there are plenty suitable for a limited space, even on a balcony or small patio.

We will be returning to our regular opening hours from Saturday 30th January:

8:30am to 5pm Monday to Friday
10am to 4pm on Sunday (browsing from 9:30am)

We reduced opening hours whilst infection rates were rising very fast. Reduced opening hours were important for the team while conducting seasonal changes; they could do this more safely with no customers at either end of the day. The more significant moves are now complete, and they have great systems in place where they can safely work behind barriers.

We do expect to get slightly busier as the year progresses, and longer opening hours will spread customers out across the day.

We do ask that customers shop alone where they can. We still see larger household groups with 3 or 4 people coming to shop together. We know that sometimes you will need to bring someone with you, but where it’s possible to shop alone, you can help keep others safe.

Pruning apple and pear trees

Winter pruning is essential to provide better quality fruit for the year. Make sure to have sharp secateurs for making clean cuts. Trim back any dead, damaged or diseased branches to a healthy bud on the stem or remove them altogether.

Shorten the previous years growth on the main branches to a bud facing in the direction you want. This will encourage new branches and help to maintain a good shape.

What do you make with your apples? The Coffee Shop chefs bake some scrumptious cakes using apples. Make sure to keep an eye out when they're open!

Do you have any birds in your garden that sing to you? Such a wonderful sound to hear especially when you’re pottering around outside. Remember to keep your feeders topped up and have plenty of water available!
