A sad day today - not sure why, but a large branch of our (possibly 100 year-old) Lord Derby apple tree has broken off. Hopefully the rest of the tree is OK, not only so we can harvest the apples, but also so the tree can carry on growing 😢🤞🍏 #appletree #organicfruit #organicgardening #homegrown

Photo of an apple tree with a large broken branch lying horizontally, right to left, in the centre of the photo; it has a lot of (albeit small) cooking apples which can hopefully be saved. On the right, near the red hawthorn berries, the main trunk is still standing, and there are more branches with plenty of apples. It's turning out to be a bumper year, but we do need rain to make the apples grow a bit more
