14 apple trees and 2 cherry were planted on 15th January 2022 toward the Queen’s Jubilee Green Canopy.
CORMAC and the Environment Agency have funded these fruit trees and the special thing about them is that they are all from the Tamar Valley. Some have some very interesting names such as pigs snout and lady’s fingers.
The complete list will be available soon and each tree will be clearly labelled in time. Again a great big thank you to the crowd that turned up today!
It was great to see new faces Emma and Jimmy accompanied by two very enthusiastic tree planters! Also thanks to Jenny, Kim, Chris, Cathy, Adrian, Jay, his two helpers and Bob with his dog (also called bob for some reason
