Apple harvest

The day had finally arrived to harvest our crop of fruit, from massive seven tree orchard. planted six years ago, when we first arrived.
These are all dwarf fruiting rootstock (small) as i am in a wheel chair and must be able to help pick the fruit.
The varieties in the photo, beginning with the nearest are, Katja (eating apple, William (pear) & Laxton epicure (eating apple)
Missing from this photo are the Bramley (still on the tree, the plum. greengage and other pear.
It was a spectacular harvest, proving that hand pollination really works
The two extras are. Greengage blossom, Pear blossom & bramley apple blossum
