Do you remember how we raved about the sensational year 2025 a few weeks ago ? No frost, rain, and sunshine in a wonderful alternation – everything's perfect! We already knew that this year's yield would be about 20% lower than average because the flowering period was prolonged and there was a minor cold snap that meant not all the flowers were pollinated .
