Behind that threatened fence, is this sheltered house area, where most of my soft fruits are grown.All this row was planted 3 years ago, except for the first tree, a nectarine.This tree is quite old, produces only about a dozen fruits which unfortunately I share with the possums.Last year I gave it a half prune as I needed the shade for some oriental lilies and some choice species.The shade house across the back is erected now, so I'll heavily prune the rest of the tree shortly and cut back last years new growth by a third.This will produce abundantly this coming season.
Continuing down the fence line, in order, are 2 different peaches, 3 different japanese plums, a two way grafted apricot, a 2 way grafted pear and last year I put in another plum, this time a narrabean.
Beyond the shade house, close to the dis-used dairy, is the apple orchard.
