Apple Orchard Progress

Over the weekend I finished planting apple tress and installed the bench seat on the tree stump left by clearing out dead standing pine trees. This little spot will become a very pretty and private nook over the next few years and the plants trees grow in.

The apple orchard now contains:

• 2 Winesap (6 foot, 1-2 years to fruiting)
• 2 Gala (3 foot, 3 years to fruiting)
• 2 Dwarf Fuji (3 foot, 3 years to fruiting)
• 1 Crab Apple (established but very damaged and recovering after being pruned)

View of the bench from the driveway and through a Winesap apple tree.

View from the bench. The trees in view are 2 Winesap apple trees, and 2 dwarf Fuji trees. The 2nd Fuji is on the left across the driveway.

I think the bench needs a coat of paint. White is just a bit too much.
