I planted a Crab Apple in the garden about 3 years ago. Fruit yield has been unspectacular but hey its only a young tree. Nonetheless, I usually save the fruit and put it in the freezer for the birds in the winter.
The temperature today was minus 9 at 10:00 am and at its maximum it probably reached about minus 5. I defrosted some of the apples and put them out for the birds. One of the dominant male Blackbirds has been gorging itself all day. As well as this a Mistle Thrush has been making use of my cotoneaster berries.
