Owner's comments
Planted on my allotment, 2013-02-12. Had to dig out what looked like (perhaps?) an old manure heap before planting. Added blood, fish & bone meal to the planting hole, and scattered wood ash on the surface before covering with black weed suppressant membrane.Season records for this tree
