Apple Blossom Time
It is Sept 7 2023...
The Chisel Jersey is blossoming pointlessly.
While the Florina is still trying to ripen.

New Tree Update
The new trees have had differing results.
The Cox was stressed. First thing it did after planting was bloom. In July. At the end of the last heat wave it dropped 90 percent of it's leaves.
I got extra mulch on it right away and increased water. It has now budded out almost as many new leaves as it lost.
The Chisel Jersey has been fine and stable the whole time. It got extra mulch and water too.
Made second batch of Transparent cider today. Good yield. Only three bottles, so a jug of raw juice in the fridge.

Cider?
One pressing of transparents from the Hopkins. Four litres juice. We put some in the fridge. This is going to be scrumpie if it works.

As of Friday the plastic bottle is out gassing every day. Unable to hear any hissing from the glass. Chuck
