Small apples are forming on the apple trees over on the common; although there were plenty of sweet smelling blossoms, when the blossom withered so did many many of the shoots, as the tree was suffering some dieback due to a touch of Blossom Wilt. I was pleased today to see so many small fruits developing; the tree has suffered from vandalism and is weakened, more susceptible to disease and I was worried, as much for me as for the tree, as I'd had my eye on this tree as a source of apples to have another go at cider making with.
