Irish peach apple tree thriving!
This is an Irish Peach apple tree, its from a scion that I grafted onto a new mm106 rootstock 2 years ago and propagated it. I got the cutting material from Florence Court Enniskillen. They have one of the best selection of Irish variety apple trees in Ireland. Florence Court is also home of the original Irish yew tree. Lots of heritage Irish tree stuff going on here at this special place.
This pic of the Irish peach apple tree was taken yesterday at our new Lisnabreeny community orchard. The site is very exposed and is roughly 170 metres above sea level. Its interesting to see what variety of apple trees do best in these types of conditions. As you can see though, the Irish Peach seems to thrive here.
At this orchard we have around 300 Irish apple trees and about 20/30 different varieties, with many more to add this winter which are propagating right now.
So many of the trees are thriving here, we did loose about 20 trees out of over 300 planted, but thats not a bad survival rate.
This year we are planning on planting another 100 Irish apple trees or so to fill up the lines where we ran out of trees last year.
This place is going to be something special in the years ahead, providing food for the community and nature.
While many on here are getting caught up with the madness of the world that they cant do anything about we are planting fruit forests.
Still I haven't scrolled once on these social media sites in the past 5 days or so and its so liberating. I haven't read any comments either or been interacting. I put my post up and get out and connect with real people in the real world.
Honestly guys this place is the ruination of the mind. We have no idea who we are talking too or aligning with.
I see so many influencers go on here and call out all the negative comments, making a big deal of them. If you went into a mental asylum and they started saying negative stuff to you, you'd never think anything of it. You'd just think god help them.
But why on here when you have never met the person do we get so entangled with their madness when they say negative things.
These social media sites are driving people insane. Its an ego trap, they are perfectly designed to mess with our egos. Like I seen a guy on here that I follow, he had a run in with someone that said something that annoyed him on his page. He then went and tracked the person down at their work, videoing the whole scenario. I just thought to myself, wtf!!! Go plant a tree.
What are people letting themselves get caught up with in this toxic cesspit.
Go plant some trees guys and be that much needed positive vibration. Its the only antidote.
Peace and love
