The orchard at Forest Farm has over 60 fruit trees — mostly apples (eating, cooking and cider), but also pear, plum, gage, cherry and a medlar. Many of the trees have been ‘adopted’, several in memory of family members. (If you’d like to adopt a tree, please get in touch.)
The table below shows where specific trees are planted in the orchard, looking from the Wardens Centre end, with the Taff Trail on the left, and Forest Farm Road on the right.
Trees are eating apples, unless otherwise stated.
