Planted small silver birch clump late last autumn (10 trees). Any suggestions for underplanting this (hopefully) dappled shade area? Looking for something low growing, low maintenance, giving cover but not boring. I have similar situation by cat woman

No apples and few crab apples.... :(
but we used them to provide pectin in jam along with the crabs. This year, there are NO FRUITS at all! Could this be weather-related?  Very close to it, we have unwisely allowed a wild cherry to grow rather large this year. We will cut it down this autumn by wisehedgecrone

Trees that provide cover for a small garden please!!

.Donutsmrs – the thing about propagating your father in-law’s cherry tree is that you won’t quite know what you’re getting. Most cherry trees are grown on rootstocks to control their size (they are very vigorous trees), so if you just take a cutting or grow from seed by Anne Wareham

High water table: dwarf fruit trees in raised beds?
of the existing soil? I'm going to have to do all this myself and being a 63 yr old lass and under 5 foot I would be glad if it didn't involve more digging than necessary! Hi Whiteflowers, I am growing a dwarf apricot in a large pot 18in high and at least as deep by Whiteflowers
