Cordon Fruit Trees


Lidl was selling fruit trees for £3.99 a few days ago so a quick visit yielded a dozen mixed apple and pear trees. Having bought some of these last year and indeed the year before I can vouch for the value of them. We picked several pounds of fruit from each of our cordons last autumn and they had only been planted that February.
Seven of the trees went into a cordon "hedge" at the front of our main plot and were all tied in. The rest will go along the boundary of our new half plot later this week.
