Two more Sweet Chestnuts to go

This is almost the last of this year's Chestnuts going in. Hopefully they will serve two purposes, a tasty crop and a windbreak for the fruit trees in the background. The varieties joining Maraval from last year are;

• Belle Epine
• Bouche de Betizac
• Bournette
• Marigoule
• Marron Goujounac

This lot came from the Agroforestry Research Trust along with;

• Ballota Oak, (a variety of Holm Oak grown for fodder and food)
• Russian Olive, a nitrogen fixing, fruit bearing shrub to be used as hedge to divide up the vegetable plots, just a few to start with and see what they taste like!
• And a whole bunch of soft fruit
