Help us look after Hollingdean’s fruit trees

Last month eight Tree Guardian volunteers met at the shed on Lynchet Close at 10am and walked down to the green on the corner of Davey Drive and Southmount. Autumn is a great time to get cardboard and woodchip down to reduce the grasses around the base of these trees. They managed to finish this area, and took care of 014, 016, 017, 018 (all cherry plums), 022 plum tree and 020 pear tree. Very satisfying and easier when the temperature is cooler. Afterwards they celebrated with a cuppa and a catch up.
