We planted half of the 6 bundles of hawthorn – 163 individual saplings planted today. All along the fence at the bottom of the field, leaving a few gaps for bigger trees like rowan and birch. We assumed we’d have some sent to us, but it was only hawthorn in the hedgerow bundles. They do say it’s more of a mix, I don’t know why we only got one type of plant. We’ll just buy some native trees to add to the future hedge.

We also planted 7 apple trees – a mix of dessert and crab apples. We weren’t so sure about where to plant those, so we shall see if they survive ?

We have a few apple trees left, the rest of the hawthorn and a ‘woodland’ bundle left to plant.
