Winter Bramley apples!
The Bramley apple tree flowered in late autumn and now has some small
fruits growing. Should I allow them to grow or remove them? I'm still picking and eating passion flower fruits at the moment! Only had light frosts so far plus rain, rain and more rain. Normally the ground is rock hard by this time of year and snow. Some daffodils are flowering and a carnation has a lovely pink bloom too. Lots of white flies about though. From what I've heard they are likely to be a major problem this year unless there are some hard frosts soon to help kill them off. -- David in Normandy.

Let them grow - could be a once in a lifetime chance to get two crops. I am assuming they won't interfere with next year's blossom. -- No plan survives contact with the enemy.

The tree looks quite strange with no leaves but a number of fruit on! -- David in Normandy.
