I posted a photo of this tree earlier, it is in full fruit now and the fruit is untouched by birds.

Thank you both, have to say this is the first year this tree has had so many fruits, but the birds have never touched them before.

Thanks both, well Denise (hope I have got the name right this time), this one came from Wisley, it's a hybrid and is in an ideal spot. I balance feed in March, (Blood, Fish and Bone, super phosphate and sulphate of potash). The tree was bought as an established tree, it is about seven years old, three years ago it was 6ft. tall.

Sorry FG, I have not had so many fruits before and to be honest I have never found out if they are edible.

Do you mean as yet untouched or they never touch it ?
It looks great, if the birds never touch them that's all the better for us to enjoy it !!!!!!
