Thanks all.
I'm feeling calmer now.
I've picked all the fruit, [ four of those big brown bread basket trays ] and a wheelbarrow of damaged fruit for the compost bins.] I've left two trays to dry and possibly ripen a bit in a dry place and put the rest near our glut box for others to share, with copies of the recipes, thanks Ollie.
Leicester will be awash with sour plum sauce and green plum chutney.
I do pay rent for the half plot, and provide him with fresh eggs, but he is the owner, elderly and set in his ways, so basically does what he likes.
His excuses so far are............
He didn't do it.
It's his tree.
It's very old.
He couldn't sit and watch the chickens because the tree was in his way !
I suspect the whole tree will be gone in a few days............I think he just likes bonfires.
Once again thanks.
Wizpod.
