Forestry and Land Scotland’s Post

Did you know wild apple trees are important for rare woodland pastures and wet woodlands? 🍎 Due to hybridisation with domestic apple trees this species is becoming rarer and rarer.  Which is one of the reasons our team at Newton helped find space for a new wild apple orchard.  This project will provide a clone bank of wild apples. This can be used to plant wild apple trees in forests across Scotland to help with biodiversity and protecting the native species.
