We are fortunate to have three apple trees and a pear tree in the garden, and for the last few weeks fruit has been piling up in bowls all over the house.
Our apple trees didn't do much at all this year, in fact one of them just withred. They were new, and I fear local cats rather hastened the demise of the eating apple tree. I'm hoping the cooker does better next year. The only other fruiting tree we have is an olive tree, but pressing your own olives is...more or less impossible. I do not recommend it.
I don't think it's been the best year for apples all round, so fingers crossed for a better crop next year. We do have a little olive tree in a pot by the front door, but I hadn't got as far as thinking about pressing olives! Thanks for the tip...
