Jubilee Orchard Planting Finale, at Andlers Ash, in Liss, Hampshire

​On Sunday 26th February COPSE and residents of Andlers Ash planted a small Orchard within green-space at this new housing development in Liss. We planted four 3-year old transplanted trees, donated by RHS Wisley and healed into COPSE planting-beds in Spring 2022. The trees were on MM106 rootstock, included Bismarck, King of Pippins, Wyken Pippin, and Dunn’s Seedling, joined by a 2-year old Arthur Turner (M25). Protective fencing and part-rotted bark mulch were supplied by Hilliers, whose tree nursery once covered Andlers Ash. Special thanks to the 30-40 residents who helped plant the trees, make cake and brewed the tea!
