The season has been fairly normal up here in the far north of Scotland,
Pwll. My big problem this year was tree fruits.....late frosts killed
off the flowers and as a result I've had very few fruits.


In sunny SE Essex my cherry tree produced a mass of fruit BUT because of
the timing of a long dry spell followed by a short period of constant
rain the fruit swelled up and split before ripening. Once split the
mould/rot set in rather fast. The small number that did look ripe didn't
taste too good. Last year I had around half the number for fruit on the
tree and was able to pick over a three week period with the cherries
being nice and sweet.
