This is the apple tree which Huttonian used to camp under 50 plus years ago. It is the only tree left in the old family orchard which is now yet another 'Orchard' development. Sadly the older generation sold the 'Big House' on the sea front and the orchard which went with it. We were left with the coachman's cottage.It is not as big a building plot as the Paxton Orchard but more unpleasant with a collection of ungainly 'Town houses'. The preservation of the tree was a hard gained concession from the developers and a condition for planning permission. Doubtless a digger will accidentally back into it if it is obstructing a building plot. It was a bumper apple crop but I suspect the last one from this ancient tree.
