Wildlife & Ecological Notes
Apple blossom in spring is one of the most valuable sources of nectar and pollen for bees, hoverflies, and other pollinators. Fallen and overripe fruit in autumn provides food for blackbirds, thrushes, wasps, butterflies, and small mammals including hedgehogs. The deciduous canopy supports a wide range of insects and provides nesting cover for garden birds.
