Not a good year for topfruit

Unfortunately it may not be a good year for topfruit - apples, pear, plums etc.  Between the frequent frosts of April and the disastrous winds (and hail/sleet) of the beginning of May, blossom has been wrecked and pollinators are not flying. Our best hope now is for apples in the later pollination groups, where the buds haven't yet opened - if the weather improves!
