At Sutton Bonington there is a class for one flower, one veg and one fruit. As I only had one apple tree in the past I have always had to rely on an apple. But being a scabby Cox it often lets me down in the class. So I'm very happy that for the first time in 8 years since I planted it my fig tree has got some fruit on it. I gave it a drastic pruning in the Spring and it certainly seems to have responded by setiing 5 small fruitlets high up. I hope the birds don't like them!
Just in case they do, my apple tree has plenty of small fruits showing before the inevitable 'June drop'.
