Striping fruit tree's in the Red Zone - Damaged Apple tree

Leslie from Avonside - Dallington

Further to this post. I had a good look at the tree yesterday and the other woman with the one I spoke to had climbed through the tree and has broken several branches. I have been pruning that Apple tree for the last few years and it really upsets me that outsiders comes into our hood and not only steals but damages the tree.

Just been across the road when I saw a woman carrying a large banana box of apples from one of the Apple tree's that the locals use. I asked if she was collecting for a Charity she said she was collecting for her Community in Mount Pleasant. I explained the locals get fruit from that particular apple tree and only take a small amount. That this is an area of Housing commission/low income/beneficiaries area and what they are doing amounts to stealing from the "Poor" for the "Rich" . We all need to share and be kind to others especially in these times.
