Apple Walk
The Apple Walk takes you from the Gravel Gardens through the Summer Garden to the wildflower meadow. There are ten new matching pairs of apple cultivars over the apple walkway. These have been chosen either for their suitability for organic cultivation or because they are an interesting older cultivar. The apple sculpture in the centre was carved by Paul Sivell in a single day at the first Apple Days festival.
The apples along the walkway are:
- Ashmeads Kernel
- Chivers Delight
- Ellison Orange
- Gloster 69
- Lord Derby
- Newton Wonder
- Norfolk Royal
- Peasgood's Nonsuch
- Rev. W. Wilks
- St. Edmunds Russet.
The trees on the walkway are supported by a bent oak wood frame and should last enough yours for the trees to become properly established and support themselves. Eventually they will cover the oak framework and provide a lovely covered walkway of blossom in spring, leaves in summer and apples in the autumn.
