Looks like it is looking round for a boyfriend. Are there some nearby?
My Worcester Pearmain will hopefully be big enough to produce some flowers next year. 2 other gardens in the village with apple trees. So it’ll be fine

SC our 2 Worcester Pearmain trees are 35 year old lovely tasting apples but doesn't keep to well. We use them for everything, pies, jams, chutney, dehydrating, freezing, juicing and puree.

Forgot to say its self fertile but does better with other apple trees in the area.

Ours will take a while. It’s currently a stick if just over 2ft . It is showing signs of life so it’s all good. Especially as that’s the most expensive stick we’ve ever brought    Big Grin .
