Four Pears & one Apple Tree

My friend Robert visited Jetty Farm today and has transformed our trees with his super impressive Grafting expertise. A beautiful sunny day too!!

We were kept company by the farm chooks at our feet ever alert to insect activity in the wake of our frenzy of pruning and raking ( Elise and I learnt to prune...we loved it! Elaine & Aza were exceptional rakers, compost builders and tea makers).

Thanks to Mark from MclarenVale for the cuttings we now have (grafted onto our existing trees) Pink Lady, Red Delicious & Golden Delicious Apples and four pear varieties on our second Granny Smith Apple tree.

Lovely day!
