Half acre orchard in West Cork, Ireland

Just when it was getting into a really lovely shape my big goumi Uroz Hayraya Varilova is dead. RIP :headstone::saluting_face:. Luckily the graft I took of it onto AO rootstock took and is growing out the back. Not sure what got it but it never came out of dormancy, maybe the -5C we hit?

It’s death freed up a primo spot (hopefully fairly enriched by the nitrogen fixing goumi) to put Sunrise Persimmon in the ground. Also put Rosseyanka Persimmon in the ground in another less primo spot.

Potted up a 3rd leaf black mulberry into a ⅓ blue barrel too, and that’s the last of my waiting list of trees without a space left now.

I should update my fruit map some time soon.
