Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
This is fruit country, and when it’s not, it’s nut country. Driving through the lanes of Kent, you’re rarely far from a cobnut platt or an orchard and though scrumping time is now behind us, November would not be the same without a visit to the pear trees I used to drive past on the way to work. Row upon row of twisted, gnarly characters, cracked bark shining in the afternoon sun, silvery reptilian skin, stout limbs and water shoots emerging at unlikely angles with moss collecting round the joints. But the leaves – no colour burns so bright in all the autumn landscape as the leaves on these pear trees, in this little orchard, on these November days.
