Look like they're in for a bumper year here. I've just been walking the dog and there's an amazing amount of fruit set. Better start keeping an eye out for gin/vodka deals....
All of the Prunus trees are looking good; cherry plum, plum and cherry trees are all looking as happy as larry too.
The price of apricots on our local market is also plummeting, so it's almost time to pounce on them (they get REALLY cheap soon) and make this years batch of apricot and elderflower wine.
