After harvest we decided that one of our Bramley orchards had reached the end of it's working life. Our newly purchased John Deere tractor and grubbing fork (operated by Terry Catt) started work and most of the trees have been grubbed and burned. Unfortunately the weather turned wet before Christmas and the job has been on hold ever since. We have the new trees, stakes and rabbit guards all ready for when the weather improves. This orchard is being replanted with 4 hectares of modern Bramley trees and should be in production by 2019.
