Peter says his idea was not entirely original because fruit trees were already on some public land before it was converted to parkland. Peter's house is close to Hansen Park, which hasn't received any of the fruit or nut trees. He is not despondent about that because he says they wouldn't fit entirely with the type of planting there. The Council has made a splendid job of Hansen Park with walkways and planting. Trees planted include walnuts, chestnuts, almond, hazel, mulberry, crab apple, medlar, quince, figs, peach, pecan nuts, lemons, pine nuts.
Olive trees have yet to be planted.
Walnuts, chestnuts and some hazels came from Council stock and the remainder from specialist nurseries. Most trees were planted last season but a few have been grown on for this year, as the sites were not ready.
