Nice to hear they planted an apple alley right there at the Vladimir icon church in Bryansk. Our parish did something similar with cherry trees a few years back and the blossoms look beautiful in spring. Hope those saplings take root well.

Our parish planted a row of apple trees along the fence back in 2018 and they finally gave us a decent crop last fall. Good to hear Bryansk is doing the same at the Vladimir icon church. Hope the saplings don’t mind the Russian winters.

Here in Košice, five years ago we planted plums behind the church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, three trees are already bearing fruit. It's nice that they planted apple trees in Bryansk near the Vladimir icon church, they can withstand even colder winters. I hope I can take it.

We planted apple trees in our schoolyard three years ago and this fall we picked the first small apples. I am glad that in Bransk they have chosen precisely apple trees next to the church of the Virgin of Vladimir, they tolerate the cold well. I hope they provide good shade for the parish festivals.

Our parish tried apple trees too a couple years ago, but the clay soil here in Toronto gave them a rough start. Did the cherry blossoms in your place hold up through the late frosts?

Our parish tried apple trees too, but the deer got most of them before they could really take off. Did yours put up any kind of fencing, or did the trees just tough it out?

Our parish planted a few apple saplings out back after the old fence repair last spring. The priest blessed them with a short moleben right there by the Vladimir icon. How many cherry trees did your group put in?
