At Toko School we are lucky enough to have a beautiful orchard. The orchard has been established for about 3 years. Last year one of Room 4's plum trees got a disease and died.
We had to remove it quickly so that it didn't spread the disease to other trees. We even had to collect every single leaf and get rid of those!
Today we planted another tree in the empty spot. This tree was not a plum tree, this time it was an apricot tree. However, it was not just an ordinary apricot tree, it is a specially grafted tree which will grow two different types of apricots. How exciting!
After the hole had been dug, we took turns adding some compost
.Then we put the tree in the hole and carefully removed the bag.
Lastly we took turns putting some dirt around the tree and carefully patting it down. We didn't need to water the tree in because it had been raining so much.
We can't wait to taste some yummy apricots!
Well done Room 4. Yum, Yum! I can't wait to taste the apricots.
