ArticleStone-fruit survival
French stone-fruit producers have experienced challenging times of late.

Figures show clearly that French exports were back to normal after the 2002 season when fruit was oversupplied. Philippe Gautier reports.

Instead she was pondering the “logistical nightmare” of transporting 10,000 newly delivered trees to more than 3,000 destinations, while dealing personally with a man from Brighton who had made the lengthy round trip for some expert advice on sprays suitable for his garden. All an important part of the day job, of course, but Garrett can be credited with far more than keeping the public happy.
