When the Community Orchard was first established, we planted many heritage varieties of apples and pears. We also planted different fruit trees with a long and ancient history. One of these was a mulberry tree. This has thrived over the years and we now get a small crop of mulberries each year.
Recently we were donated a second mulberry tree which we planted beside the Forest Garden. It has already produced a few mulberries and hopefully we will have more in years to come. Many thanks to our donors for this kind gift to the Orchard.
