Hi friends, I'm happy you appreciate my work !  I continue my work lately, sorry but I had many personal problems this month ! The 3 last excellent pears, all sweet : Le Lectier : october-november  Sucrée de Montluçon : november  Figue d’Alençon : december, a little one, but some says it’s one of our best pear : I harvested for the first time 6 fruits on a 4 years old tree so I don't know how is the taste.  And autumn and winter apples : Rose de Berne : October-december, the tree is vigourous and resisting until 800 meters, very good taste, the flesh is a little pink (not evident on the picture)  From left to right : Museau de lièvre : october-december, sweet, original shape Reinette clochard : december-march, a good “classic” one, juicy, sweet-acid Reinette franche :December-may, juicy, crunchy, very sweet with a little acidity De fer du Cher : December-march, ferm sweet-acid Jolibois : December-june, sweet, crunchy, nearly “spiced” (?), produces every year, one on my favorite. Reinette d’Amboulne : January-june, looks like “Granny Smith” but sweetest and less acid.  To be continued …… |

Your work is most certainly deeply appreciated my friend. Such beautiful pictures of fruit which only makes me yearn for the day when it will be as simple as going outside to pick my own fruit. Thank you my friend and keep up the good work!

Thank you for the pictures. Are the cattle yours? Thank you Karen and Bunkie. The cattle are not mine. The last picture was taken by my wife, she really likes when the weather is changing and the sky light-dark (?? clair-obscur in french) |

Your orchard is beautiful! I only wish I had some root stock to take advantage of your scion offer.  Probably should start some of my own root stock this year or dig up a wild crabapple because I cannot find a bare root tree price to suit our budget. My ancestry as far back as we can search ends up in an area of France that used to be called Guyenne and the family name then was La Force du Caumont. It would be nice to have an apple that came from that region where my ancestors lived. Chances are not good that any varieties they may have eaten would still exist, but the sentiment is nice. |
