Thinking of planting fruit trees?

If you are thinking of planting the odd fruit tree or even an orchard consider going to the Conservatoire d'Especes Fruitieres at Puycelsi. I have just been for a guided tour around the orchards and as a keen gardener it was the most interesting visit. On the 15th of December they have a sale of fruit trees and they have every  fruit tree imaginable. You need to be there as close to 9 am as possible for the choice items, although it does go on all day. It is not possible to reserve beforehand. We had so much good advice given on tree planting, propagation and general management of your tree areas, all with out the use of pesticides. Also if you have a tree in your garden and do not know the variety if you take 5 good fruits and a branch they will identify it for you. tel 0563486851
