We wanted to say a big thank you to our Community Orchard volunteers, who have been working hard over the summer. Here’s a little update on what they’ve been up to. Our young orchard was established in 2021 and we now have a mix of apples, pears, plums and damsons, as well as a quince and a medlar. The trees are sponsored by local residents, and we’re very grateful for their support. The main job this summer has been to keep the trees alive through the drought and frequent heatwaves. The team were out watering two or three times a week from mid-May to the end of August, which took some real dedication from our volunteers. To give you an idea of the commitment, it would take one person more than two hours to water all of the trees each time. Luckily, we had half a dozen volunteers, some giving up many evenings over the summer to keep the orchard alive. There was not much fruit this year due to the drought, but we did get a good harvest of plums and some medlars (pictured here). Other less frequent tasks have included pruning and greasebanding the trees to help protect them from ants. We’d love to see some more volunteers help spread the watering load in future summers. You never know, you might even be rewarded with some lovely fruit as the trees mature! If you are interested in helping, please contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@charvilparishcouncil.gov.uk.
