4 Dear Ferndown & West Parley, Welcome to our bumper Edition 93 64 page issue! I cannot quite believe that it is November already. We didn’t go camping last month, but Nellie did take us for a day out at Avon Heath Country Park. We went with a friend and his two boys on a bright Debbie & Stephen Corney crisp day. You can read all with their son, Hayden about it on pages 38 and 39. Fun was had by all!

So, this is the month to start thinking about Christmas, planning who is going where, who to buy presents for and generally getting even busier than usual. The local trades and service men and women in The Ferndown & West Parley Directory are here to help you. They can make this time of year a little easier by providing what you need and help make this Christmas a successful one for you. We have a full array of local businesses inside as well as lots of local news and events. The West Parley Parish Council give you some very useful information. Not only is there the prize wordsearch but you could also win a family set of tickets to see Aladdin at the Pavilion in Bournemouth!

Oh yes, there is even a local short story for you.

If you have a business in Ferndown or West Parley and want to be included in the magazine please give me a call. Our rates are excellent and we can give you a free editorial to say more about what you do.

Stephen and I hope you have a good November and do manage to plan ahead and save yourself some stress next month.

Best wishes,

Welcome...

Technology matters In 2012, the government set out a vision for the future of the NHS, promising a ‘paperless’ health service by 2018 and a greater choice of digital channels that offer patients increased choice in the way they access healthcare and manage their health records.

Locally, Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (RBCH) are already taking significant steps towards embracing these challenges and achieving a paperless future.

A new digital x-ray viewing system was successfully launched earlier this year across Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals, and a new electronic document management system (EDMS) is set to be introduced in 2014. The new EDMS system will cut out the need for paper records to be transferred between local hospitals, meaning improved security of information and, crucially, fewer delays for patients.

Dr Rupert Page is a consultant neurologist at Poole Hospital, and explains the difference that improved IT will make: “Our focus is providing high quality, safe clinical care. The key to this is current and complete information wherever that care is being provided.

Effective IT support is crucial to meet the increasingly varied ways in which we need to deliver this care and ensure quality. Clinicians are engaged at the heart of the strategy that we are evolving, which we hope will eventually become a beacon for how clinical IT ought to be delivered.”

The three hospitals are also making increased use of digital platforms to support patients and staff. New apps have been launched to benefit orthopaedic patients and people with diabetes, and Poole Hospital recently relaunched its website with a new section that allows patients to provide important feedback on their care.

Peter Gill, joint director of informatics across Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals, explains more: “By developing our IT systems and adopting new technologies, we can significantly improve our patients’ experience. Technology can give patients greater power over their own healthcare and provide staff with the tools they need to provide a more efficient and seamless service.

“We are already working towards achieving paperless patient journeys through the development and implementation of linked clinical computer systems.

We are also committed to increasing our use of digital channels to reduce the effort patients and carers have to make when accessing healthcare and give them more control over their own care options.”

In fact, IT already plays an integral part in most patients’ care, and the hospitals’ new informatics strategy includes more than 25 projects set to benefit patients and staff over the next five years. Some will take place behind the scenes, such as improvements to computer rooms, server management and networks.

Other changes, such as a new service desk system and the roll out of an electronic system used to record patients’ clinical observations, will bring more noticeable benefits.

The new observations monitoring system, known as VitalPAC, is operated using a handheld device, similar to an iPhone, allowing nursing staff to record or “track” observations, such as blood pressure or heart rate. If a patient’s condition deteriorates, an appropriate member of staff will automatically be alerted.

Sarah Allaway, a senior nurse leading on the clinical implementation of the VitalPAC system at RBCH, says: “We’ve seen how technology has made a huge difference to our patients and the quality of their care. With VitalPAC, changes in patients’ conditions can be monitored much more closely, helping us to respond quickly to those who need it. Patient safety and the quality of their care is the most important part of what we do and it’s fantastic that we’re able to take advantage of modern technology to keep improving the service we provide.”

Community News

Ferndown Bowls Club News Ferndown Women bowled over with success after a double promotion.

Winning twelve of their sixteen matches and finishing four points clear Ferndown Women have gained promotion from the Second Division to the First Division of the Dorset Women’s Bowling League.

Success too in the Bournemouth & District Women’s Bowling Association Leagues the second team have gained promotion from division “F” to division “E” winning eight of twelve matches. The first team finished a very commendable third in Division “B”.

The Men’s Second Team has also done well. In a nail biting finish to the season against Shaftsbury, they dropped four shots in the final end of the season to fi nish in second place in the Dorset

League only six points behind the leaders, Shaftsbury.

History was to repeat itself in the Bournemouth & District League when in the very last game of the season, needing a win against the leaders Poole Park, they dropped two shots on the last end, and only obtained a draw. One shot saved or won during this match would have secured promotion.

Our new season starts in April 2014.

Please contact our Club Secretary Shirley Davies for membership details on 01202 870 259 or by email at shirleydavies1@hotmail.co.uk.

Ferndown Stroke Club AGM 2013

Ferndown Stroke Club recently held its AGM where the committee reported on a very successful year of fundraising, including being selected as “Sainsbury’s Ferndown Charity of the Year”.

The club meets on the third Wednesday of the month at the Ferndown Guide Hall (by St Mary’s Church) from 10.30 to 12.30. New members are always welcome.

West Parley Heritage Walk An interesting 4 ½ mile walk has been created in West Parley passing most items of historical interest.

Starting at the newly refurbished Parley Sports Club off Christchurch Road, the walk passes 24 items of interest including areas where Neolithic items have been found, through Bronze Age barrows, Iron Age monuments, Saxon and medieval buildings to more recent settlement.

Initially going north through Parley Wood, the walk then passes across Parley Common and on through the north west part of the village to the ancient hamlet of Dudsbury. It then passes through the Dudsbury hill fort towards the Stour Valley and on to the original hamlet of West Parley, that was once made up of just a few ancient farms and buildings nestled round All Saints Church.

Retracing the route back north up Church Lane the walk then heads east again past where Roman ďŹ nds have

Rear of All Saints Church

Part of the former gallows been made before returning past more old buildings to the start point.

The walk can be done in one go or in sections. There are numerous restaurants, pubs and cafes on the route or locally to have a rest in. I have put the description of each item along with the walk route on the West Parley Parish Council web site www.westparley-pc.gov.uk and a map from 1900 to compare with the village as it is today. This map clearly shows the placement of these historic items in a much more open landscape that existed before the major housing developments that have taken place in the village over the last 50 years.

The walk is part of a project to raise awareness of the 6000 years of settlement in the area and follows a Heritage Open Day that was held in April and All Saints Church being open to visitors during the East Dorset Heritage Week in September.

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

The Red Squirrel The iconic red squirrel, instantly recognisable by its copper colour and impressive ear tufts, is the only native squirrel in the UK. Sadly in decline now for several decades, its very existence may be under threat.

The biggest threat to the survival of the red squirrel is deemed to be its introduced American cousin, the once exotic grey squirrel. In addition to competition for habitat and food sources, the greys are sometimes carriers and spreaders of the squirrel pox, fatal to reds but to which they themselves are immune.

Red squirrels’ favourite habitat is conifer and broadleaved woodland, where they feast mostly on tree seeds, and the diet also includes fruits, berries and fungi, and even insects. In the autumn, in preparation for the meagre winter months, red squirrels fatten up and store food in the ground.

They are mostly arboreal creatures, unlike the greys, and spend most of their time in the tree canopy, especially in inclement weather. The red squirrel is mostly solitary and does not have much of a social life with other reds, but occasionally they do share a nest, known as a drey, built a few meters off the ground. The young ones are born in dreys, usually in the early spring. The reds are not prolific breeders, and only produce one or two litters a year, with around 3-4 kittens, not all of which always survive.

Despite their tiny size - the adults only weigh about 250 to 350 grams - the reds are lively creatures, and with patience, can be observed jumping from tree to tree. They are also good swimmers. The coat, which can vary from reddish brown

to almost black, moults twice a year, the winter coat being darker and thicker than the summer one. The famous ear tufts only moult once a year, in late autumn.

In the UK, Scotland is a stronghold for red squirrels, with an estimated population of 120,000. Here in the south of England red squirrels are virtually extinct, with only a few small pockets remaining, such as the ones on Brownsea Island and The Isle of Wight. However, all is certainly not bleak for the red squirrels’ future, and a lot is being done in order to aid their survival amidst the threats they face.

The red squirrel is protected by law, and organisations such as the Red Squirrel Survival Trust are committed to the protection of this national treasure. The Wildlife Trusts are doing their bit as well, and you can help by joining the Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Red Squirrel Adoption Scheme. Visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust. org.uk/wildadoptions to find out more about how you can become a much needed and valued Brownsea Island Red Squirrel Sponsor!

Help To Buy Scheme... w

We’ve all heard about the new Help To Buy Scheme but do we really understand how it works, who is eligible or how your solicitor is involved in the process.

Here we will try to explain a little more about the Help to Buy scheme.

Help to Buy scheme - do I qualify for it?

To be eligible for help from Help to Buy, you must: N Have a deposit of at least 5%; N Be looking to buy a home worth £600,000 or less; N Be purchasing a property you intend to live in most of the time; N This means you can’t buy a property you intend to let out or use as a second home.

There are two parts to the scheme - equity loans and ²½u8ub uÂ8²8 ½bbµ¢ b²b Ë Â¯ o Y ½ 8F ½ F ½}¢

Help to Buy scheme - eq property How equity loans work:

Help to Buy equity loans are who want to buy a new buil this: N The government lends yo property’s value as an eq N You’ll need a deposit of N You’ll need to get a mor property’s value.

Halifax have said they will offer these loans although the government has said it expects other lenders to come on board.

From the borrower’s perspective it won’t be that different to getting a normal mortgage.

N You’ll put down a deposit of at least 5% N You can borrow up to 95% of the property’s price from a mortgage lender.

N The government will then guarantee any mortgage borrowing above 80% of the property’s value.

N For example, if you took out a 85% mortgage the government would guarantee to repay your lender up to 10% of its value if you defaulted.

The Legal Side of Things However you choose to buy your home there will always be a number of legal tasks which need to be completed by a solicitor. Even more so if you decide to use a ‘help to buy’ or ‘shared ownership’ scheme.

Stick Man trail brings

to life this winter

Fans of the popular children’s character Stick Man can enjoy their own Stick Man adventures by following a new activity trail at Moors Valley Country Park and Forest until January next year.

Created by Julia Donaldson, who also wrote The Gruffalo, Stick Man lives, perhaps not surprisingly, in a tree with his wife and three children. Forestry Commission England has teamed up with the popular children’s character to create a special adventure trail to encourage children and families to get out into the forest.

The Moors Valley trail is one of thirteen that Forestry Commission England has created around the country where children can engage in imaginative play and find out more about forests and the importance of wood and trees to their daily lives.

Families can have fun and learn about Stick Man’s forest home by following the special Stick Man trail, complete with activities for all ages. The trail winds through the Park and into the Forest with 10 activity boards to help children and adults make their own Stick Man to take home, identify tree patterns and shapes, build a twig tower and explore the sights and sounds around them.

Emma Reeks, Education Ranger at Moors Valley, said, “Stick Man is a delightful character and has a huge national following built around Julia Donaldson’s engaging story and the charming illustrations of Axel Scheffler.

“In the story, Stick Man goes for a jog only to find that the world is an eventful place for a stick. Along the way he encounters a dog that wants to play with him, a swan that makes him part of her nest and a boy that uses him as a snowman’s arm. Of course, like all the best stories, this one has a happy ending when Stick Man eventually returns home, with a little help from Santa Claus!

“We estimate that around 5000 children followed Moors Valley’s Gruffalo Trail during the year it was open. I’m sure that Stick Man will be just as popular and will inspire children to use the forest as their playground and create their own stories, while learning vital skills to help in their development.”

The Stick Man trail is open from Saturday 26 October to Friday 31 January 2014 and trail cards cost £2 each.

Free Stick Man activity sheets can be downloaded from the Forestry Commission website at www.forestry.gov.uk/stickman.

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van So this month we stayed pretty close to home and visited Avon Heath Country Park. I must admit we didn’t stay overnight in Nellie. Fair weather campers you may well call us! There are in fact quite a few caravan parks along this stretch of the road, off the A31 from Ringwood. There is the Oakdene Forest Park where we have not yet stayed, but I have used their leisure facilities which are very good. There is also St Leonards Farm Caravan and Camping Park. Either of these places would be ideal for Nellie in the warmer weather, so next summer here we come!

Instead of a full weekend away, we spent the day at Avon Heath. There are various wooden frames to climb on, a spider’s web, rope climb frame, a snake to crawl through and a zip wire. All good fun… and not just for the children as you can see! Stephen and Martin with his children also challenged themselves to the ropes… and the wall.

Glory was achieved, as you see in their smiles.

What I do like about having bought Nellie, is that we now force ourselves out where in the past we may have stayed inside and not made the effort.

Walking is good for all of us and finding places to go where children will walk willingly and eagerly without giving you a headache by the time you get back home, is forever a challenge. At Avon Heath they cater for children really well and we chose to do “Who is Hiding at Avon Heath” which is about an hour’s walk. You can see Hayden here holding his clipboard, all smiling and at the ready. The idea is to follow the signs

Up, up and away!!

We are ALL kings of the castle!

We saw a number of fabulous fungi

Hayden’s artistic footprint drawings and draw the footprints of the animal described. It was fun, easy to do and kept the children entertained. On route we saw very large mushrooms, a huge spider’s web and an ant hill! I have never really seen an ant hill quite this size. It was enormous! Such a feat of nature.

Martin, who was ever adventurous from a very early age, from what he tells us, put his hand on the hill and was immediately covered in crawling

There is some stunning scenery in the Park

creatures. Do NOT try this at home.

It is absolutely not recommended, but Martin did seem to enjoy it. The children, after a rather perplexed and bedazzled look, quite rightfully, ran away!

It was a perfect day weather-wise, sunny, bright and crisp. The views were quite stunning – and all within very easy reach of where we live. Of course I had my customary cup of coffee - and a rest - to end the day, having boiled the water in Nellie’s whistling kettle.

Where will Nellie go next… see in the next edition of The Ferndown & West Parley Directory!

Award-winning horticulturist receives local recognition The Mayor of Ferndown, Cllr John Lewis has presented a plaque to Neil Lucas, the owner of Knoll Gardens, in recognition of the help he has provided to the Town Council over many years.

Cllr Lewis presented the plaque during his Civic Day visit to the show gardens, in the company of nearly 30 dignitaries from across the whole of Dorset.

During a tour of the four-acre show gardens the visiting party admired the stunning autumn colour, marvelled at the ‘champion’ eucalyptus tree, and learned a little of Neil’s low impact style of gardening.

Neil Lucas is a best-selling author and

member of the RHS Council; he also holds ten consecutive Chelsea Gold Medals. Knoll Gardens and its adjacent nursery are open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am – 4pm.

Neil Lucas receives plaque from Mayor of Ferndown Cllr John Lewis

Plant of the Month For a burst of late flowers, especially in containers, the Argyranthemum frutescens “Crazy Daisy” is a perfect choice. Indeed they work well as a mass of colour in mixed flowerbeds, interspersed with other bushes particularly roses who enjoy the same high water consumption.

Flowering best in spring these plants, if looked after, will give you another big flower show in the autumn. In harsher climates you may need to replace them each year.

Protect them against the wind in coastal gardens and ensure that during hot weather they are watered well at least every three days.

These are also great as you don’t need to do any deadheading!

Look up! And get more space at home for just £325 We’d all like more room at home. But not everyone can afford to move or extend. So what if there was a way to get extra space for just a few hundred pounds, ready to use in less than a day? In truth, that space is already there. It’s just not being used to its full potential.

For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited on rare occasions; a precarious scramble across dusty beams with torch in hand, grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of the floorspace in an average home. So shouldn’t we be making the most of it?

And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton six years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making our lofts easily accessible. The latest MTLL franchise to open covers the Bournemouth

area and is run by skilled local, Jon Burt, who says the company’s no-frills approach is what most people are looking for.

“We’re not selling £15,000 loft conversions,” says Jon. “This is a low-cost and simple alternative. For just £277 + VAT you can get a ladder that slides easily up and down, as well as a proper light and some boarding to make the space safe and secure. We can also fit a draft-proof loft hatch if required from only £55.”

Here’s a great way to make more storage space...

Install a loft ladder and make more use of your loft!

Loft ladder, Light & Switch plus 50 sqft of flooring from as little as £277+VAT which includes FREE fitting in less than a day.

Over 1500 people have chosen us to fit their loft ladder, this is because we offer: • A FREE home visit • A FREE written quotation

• Fully guaranteed • A large selection of ladders

more than “cost effective space”

Wimborne & Ferndown Lions Club raise £2500 for the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation Wimborne & Ferndown Lions Club President, Frank Fortey, presented a cheque for £2500 to the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF).

The money was raised from The Dorset Charity Horse & Dog Show and a recent Quiz Night at the Barrington Centre in Ferndown.

The Lions have supported the JTYAF since 2011 and have raised over £6000 for the Ferndown based charity. The JTYAF supports young people from a wide range of youth organisations providing them with scholarships and bursaries to support their personal development and the pursuit of their ambitions.

Pete Thornton commented “We really appreciate the fantastic support we receive from the Wimborne and Ferndown Lions Club. Together we are making a real difference to the lives of local young people.”

Fundraising Chair Lion Neil Godfrey said “We are delighted to continue to support this worthwhile local charity that helps so many local young people to realise their ambitions”.

The Lions meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Royal British Legion in Church Road, Ferndown from 7.30pm, new members welcome.

Age UK Bournemouth warns of Home Insurance/Mortgage trap Loyal customers aren’t always offered the best deal on home insurance by their mortgage providers, according to research from Age UK Enterprises.

In January 2013 Watermelon Research found that 37% of people who have home insurance with their mortgage provider have never considered changing. Furthermore 36% of them have had their home insurance with their mortgage provider for over 20 years.

Commenting on the findings, Peter Kendall Trading Manager of Age UK Bournemouth, said: “People may have taken out their home insurance with their mortgage provider many years ago. Research clearly shows a

number of people are staying with their mortgage provider for a considerable number of years without shopping around for a better deal.

“It is vital that people have a home insurance policy which meets their individual needs and budget, rather than just sticking with what they know.

We urge everybody to shop around to achieve both good value and suitable cover for their needs.”

To find out more you should contact Age UK Bournemouth, by calling 01202 530575, or visit them at 700 Wimborne Rd. Winton, Bournemouth, BH9 2EG between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday.

Short Story

The Angel at Mottisfont Gardens

by Roz Wade

Bank Holiday Monday bathed in burning August sun and not a cloud to be seen. The car park full of families unloading the usual paraphernalia hampers, parasols and potties.

‘Picnic now!’ demands Izzy, the two year old, as we load the push chair and join the queue. It’s ten o’clock… I thought we would be the first visitors.

‘Picnic, picnic,’ she repeats.

I close my ears; it’s only an hour since breakfast and ham and cheese sandwiches have no appeal, but we hurry to a shady spot and unpack the basket. Deftly she dips in sticky fingers, extricates the filling, and stuffs the ham into her mouth. Large pieces fall on the rug. Dad puts them back between the slices of bread but the added dried grass does nothing to enhance the flavour and she removes the ham again. I glance towards the café and picture the steaming cappuccino as I close my eyes.

‘Ganny sleep,’ a voice calls. ‘Wake up, Ganny…’ she tugs my arm.

‘Play with me.’

Izzy twiddles her fingers around a stray tendril, her intense blue eyes grow larger as she licks the hair and waits expectantly. The foil-wrapped offering of limp lettuce on the rug is no match for the toddler, who seizes the monster tennis ball. With a rush of energy she dashes across the smooth lawn, throwing and chasing the ball, her sun bleached curls flying behind her.

The riverside gardens are spectacular and the Winnie the Pooh Trail proves a great success for Dad, who rushes from notice to notice to solve the clues. He thrusts his hand into the model beehive to squeeze the crackly queen bee, clambers across the logs and hangs from the rope swing. We collect a dwindling supply of twigs and stop on the narrow bridge that spans the stream to play Pooh Sticks, then make for the fishing hut to sit on the abandoned sofa in Pooh’s Thotful Room.

An hour passes and we make our way across the meadow for the second picnic. This time I choose a soggy sandwich.

‘Who’s for a drink in the café?’ I ask wistfully, but Izzy has other ideas and wants to collect some dandelions to give to Mummy. We

59

studiously ignore her demands, but finally give in and search in the blazing sun while the toddler selects the weeds according to a criteria we fail to comprehend. Clasping a mangled mass we return to the rug and solemnfaced she offers the yellow flowers. Then clutches them back to her chest.

Mummy gives an indulgent smile and hands out the drinks, but Izzy refuses to release her posy.

‘Terrible twos,’ I whisper, but her parents dispute it.

I raise my eyes to the solitary white wisp in the sky and fan my face.

A shot of caffeine is called for. The vision of cappuccino is replaced by an iced latte, but I know when I’m beaten and down the lukewarm can of lemonade in seconds. A bout of hiccups amuses the little one, who still refuses to release her grip on the wilting weeds.

Then Izzy notices a family some distance from us; the children are pointing in her direction and laughing. She flashes a smile, then a grimace, and yells ‘Cow…! Cow…!’

Embarrassed, we turn to see there really is a large brown cow munching her precious posy. Screaming, she drops it and rushes to her father, but the cow is undeterred and continues to chew as we watch its soft blubbery lips devour the dandelions. I reach out and touch its bony back; father and daughter approach, and Izzy, who has quickly recovered from her loss, gives it a tentative stroke. The animal lowers its head to search for more tasty morsels.

Mum tries to shoo it away, but it nuzzles the abandoned sandwiches, picks one up, and tramples the others into the rug as it departs. Izzy wails; she does not want the cow to go but we are relieved to see it wander off.

I glance at the remains of the picnic and sneak a smile as we gather our belongings, pack up the picnic bag and load the pushchair.

‘Tea, coffee, ice cream’ I say heading for the café and Izzy slips her hand in mine.

‘Yes, pease, Ganny.’ The little angel.

on your Gardening

PLOT Feeling Fruity

Few flavours compare with that of fruit freshly picked from the garden.

Much of the fruit available in the shops (particularly the supermarkets) has been grown for it’s ability to travel well rather than it’s flavour and may have been picked well before it’s arrival on the shelf. If you fancy apples from your own tree, or a bowl of raspberries fresh from the garden, now is the time to act.

Jobs for November:Start to harvest parsnips after the first frosts.

Tidy up your greenhouse or polytunnel, wash out pots and seed trays before storing ready for the Spring Sow hardy peas or broad beans ready for an early crop next year.

Use netting or chicken wire to protect your broccoli and cabbages from hungry pigeons.

If you haven’t already done so, plant garlic and shallots.

If your rhubarb is taking over, lift and divide the crowns before replanting.

If you are anything like me you will spend ages drooling over pictures of bushes dripping with blackcurrants or gooseberries, trees laden with apples, or bowls full of luscious raspberries but struggle to get to grips with the realities of production on your own plot!

Patience is a virtue that is definitely required for growing your own, and this is particularly so with fruit trees and bushes. I have to confess to having an inclination to move on with anything that requires more than a few months to give a decent crop, but with most fruit you just have to force yourself to take the long term view and now being the proud owner of a 2 year old gooseberry bush and raspberry canes I can assure you that the waiting is worthwhile!

Think carefully about where you will grow your fruit. Trees require lots of space (but are a wonderfully attractive addition to your plot) while bushes may be incorporated in your borders, but will probably need some protection if you aren’t going to loose a lot of fruit to the birds.

Late autumn is an ideal time to add fruit to your plot as trees and bushes will be entering their dormant period. It is important to buy healthy plants and to ensure that they are dormant as they will transplant more successfully. If you are ordering from a reputable mail order nursery they are likely to arrange delivery to coincide with the best time for planting.

You should also get

instruction on how to plant and care for your new tree or bush.

Trees such as apple or plum may be grafted onto a variety of different rootstocks - this sounds complicated but all you really need to know is what effect this will have on the final size of the tree. If you have limited space it is possible to buy dwarf varieties some of which can even be suitable for container growing.

Pollination is also an important consideration, some varieties are self -fertile and do not need a pollinator, while others may require another variety planted close by to act as a pollinator. When planting your tree out it may benefit from staking and protection around the base.

One ‘fruit’ that is a little different and very easy to grow is Rhubarb.

Rhubarb is actually classified as a vegetable, but certainly tastes good used like a fruit in crumbles and pies.

November is the perfect time to plant out dormant crowns. Although these can be bought from nurseries Rhubarb tends to spread well when established and needs to be divided every few years so it is often possible to obtain surplus crowns from friends or neighbours.

Plant your crown with the buds just above the soil and water well the first year. Once the plants have become established you can look forward to harvesting a good crop of delicious pink stems from Spring onwards - very welcome as the first ‘fruit’ of the year.
