Millfield Allotments' communal orchard is located on Plot 58B. Following storms over the last few years, several of the old apple trees had to be felled due to damage sustained. However, one of the older Bramley apple trees still stands on the orchard and a number of new trees have also been planted. We look forward to the fruits emerging in the coming years. All plot holders are welcome to help themselves to the apples from the orchard if they would like some. Communal Orchard: Millfield Allotments' communal orchard is located on Plot 58B.
