Planting a mini-orchard at Histon and Impington Junior School
Planting a mini-orchard at Histon and Impington Junior School. In April 2016 we grafted scions taken from the Community Orchard, grew them on and then planted 5 trees at the Junior School. The trees, all apples, are:
- Lady Hollendale – eating apple, from Wisbech
- Murfitt’s Seedling – cooking apple, from Cottenham
- Chivers Delight – eating apple, from Histon
- Laxton’s Fortune – eating apple, from Bedford
- Isaac Newton’s Tree – cooking apple, the inspiration for ‘gravity’, from Lincolnshire
