\n\tM<\/span><\/span>uch of our work in January was concentrated on the Wild Orchard – so where and what is it? This orchard runs along the <\/span><\/span><\/span>\"noticeboardedge of a field at the eastern edge of St Lythans. It is a public footpath that runs from the road between Twyn yr Odyn and St Lythans (metal kissing gate by metal gate and ST 1115\/7324 if you have a GPS) and eventually reaches another footpath which connects Wenvoe Woods and St Lythans Church. From the road, walk through one field, over a stile and the orchard starts just beyond this point. It is a linear orchard running along the edge of the field and currently has around 60 trees planted, marked with bamboo canes. There is a bench and noticeboard.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\"orchard\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tT<\/span><\/span><\/span>he orchard is called 'Wild' because all the trees are of native fruit, including Crab-apple, Wild Pear, Wild Plum, Wild Cherry, Bird <\/span><\/span><\/span>Cherry, Bullace, Cherry Plum, Chequers Tree and Hazel. We are gradually introducing a labelling code where each bamboo cane will have a colour tape corresponding to the type of tree and the code is on a notice on the noticeboard. The canes are there so that we can find the trees throughout the year – there are some vigorous nettles growing here and <\/span><\/span><\/span>in the past we have lost some of the shorter trees in the vegetation. Hopeful-ly we now have it under control. The public footpath is becoming more and more popular with walkers and it is nice to see the bench being used regularly<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
