This weekend we’ve been laying down the foundations of what I hope will be a future Cider orchard<\/p>\n

Having started to brew my own cider in the last 2 years it’ll be great to not have to rely on other people for the raw materials to carry on this new hobby. In addition the 7 trees we’ve planted are specialised variants bred specifically as cider apples.<\/p>\n

For the “Cider geeks”, (if such a group exists!), they were :
\n      ⇒ King of Pippins<\/strong> (a sweet apple) [more…]<\/a>
\n      ⇒ Yarlington Mill<\/strong> (sweet to slightly bitter sweet) [more…]<\/a>
\n      ⇒ Dabinett<\/strong> (bittersweet) [more…]<\/a>
\n      ⇒ Tremletts bitter<\/strong> (bittersweet) [more…]<\/a>
\n      ⇒ Herefordshire Redstreak<\/strong> (bittersharp) [more…]<\/a>
\n      ⇒ Tom Putt<\/strong> (old English cooking apple but good for Cider too) [more…]<\/a>
\n      ⇒ Bramley<\/strong> (more for use in yummy apple pies than Cider!)\n<\/p>\n
