I love your writing, you’re a natural. The silver leaf thing is real. I ruined (killed) a cherry by trimming the branches at the wrong time. Similarly a pear tree. But why won’t some of my prunus spinosa do the decent thing and quietly die?! My rural garden is overrun with them and at present, the trees are dripping with the sloes. I can’t give them away so I might have to try sloe gin-making for the first time. My garden space very different to yours but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy reading about your allotment. So keep at it, you’re doing great 👍
