Success at last
Today is the first day I made a bit of money on the Internet, it is also the day I noticed that my Elder trees have actually produced fruit.
I have been planting Elders since year 1 (2001) and for the last 3 years; they have flowered, but never had any fruit. I had assumed that, as with many other trees and shrubs; that conditions up here were too poor and that they just weren't able to produce berries because it was either too short a season and/or the soil was too acid, but now they have, just a few. Just like the £9 I made on the Internet today; It's a good start, and to see both made me very happy.
It's worth noting, that the Elders on the lowlands fruited ages ago, we're a good month behind up here on Dartmoor, same with everything.
Before I moved here; there were about 4 Elder trees up here, which must have been brought here by the Birds. None of them ever produced any fruit, maybe there just weren't enough of them then. I haven't been all the way down the river, to check them yet. Too busy blogging.
