This year the Crab apple trees of the forest are bare for the most part, their leafs browned and fallen some time back, their boughs bearing little or no fruit. A sad sight indeed. Compare this last years bumper harvest and it serves to highlight how devastating heavy / prolonged rain can be on fruit bearing shrubs. Sloe's too have been hit hard, with bare boughs the order of the season, as many of the other woodland fruits.
