The fruit can be of all shapes and sizes as long as they are unsprayed and from London. The most important thing is that they are separated into
- Handpicked from the tree; these need to be blemish/bruise free and of eating quality.
- Windfall apples from the ground; these apples can be blemished, only a small bit of bruising is ok and the odd bug is fine.
If you have apples to donate, please get in touch with Elizabeth at elizabeth@theorchardproject.org.uk.
