About me

Gender Male
Industry Agriculture
Location Botley, Hampshire, United Kingdom
Introduction Julia and I envisioned, planted and manage the Fruitwise orchard in Durley, Hampshire. I am interested in heritage apples. Valuable old apple DNA is being lost and we can't afford to lose it. The most reliable way to stop and reverse this loss is for people to become interested in preserving the heritage of apples which comes down to us from our ancestors. This can best be done by planting, celebrating, preserving and using local orchards. We are commited Christians.
Interests apple growing, music, skin cancer
Favorite Movies Seven Samurai, Das Boot, LOTR
Favorite Music currently listening to old Fairport Convention a lot, also Dylan, Hendrix, Vivaldi mandolin and guitar concertos, Brahms string quartets, trying to play some Bach on classic guitar
Favorite Books see list of favourite fruit growing books on fruitwise.net site. Favourite apple book is probably Rosanne Sanders 'The English Apple'
