Emma BakerNice 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.

Michael CarterOur 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.

Anna ŠimkováU nás v Košiciach sme pred piatimi rokmi vysadili slivky za kostolom svätého Cyrila a Metoda, tri stromy už rodia. Pekné, že v Brjansku pri chráme Vladimirskoj ikony dali práve jablone, tie vydržia aj chladnejšie zimy. Dúfam, že sa ujmu.

Sergio FernándezEn nuestro patio de la escuela plantamos manzanos hace tres años y este otoño recogimos las primeras manzanas pequeñas. Me alegra que en Bransk hayan elegido precisamente manzanos junto al templo de la Virgen de Vladimir, aguantan bien el frío. Ojalá den buena sombra para las fiestas parroquiales.

George SmithOur 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?

Sophia EvansOur 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?

George EvansOur 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?
