338. Fruit tree update

Some good news, but really it needs to be a lot warmer if the top fruit's going to ripen well.

Top photo shows the espalier (Cox Self-Fertile) - showing good growth and in the right directions!

 

Middle photo is the cordon line - a very disappointing amount of fruit. The apples are Katy.

 

Bottom photo is a plum (Marjorie's Seedling) in the tree nursery. It shows an extraordinary amount of growth - over 5 feet since March (now as tall as me). Behind it are its peers. It will be moved into final position (a cordon on the lawn) in March next year.
