Many thanks Both
A bit to think on and some testing to be done.
The dead section on top did develope a couple of leaves but they dropped off a few weeks ago and no sign of anymore.
No mushy farms Eric, here it's hectare after hectare of apple mainly, lots of grapevines, some peach, some orange and a few lemons.
Thousands of hectares of pine forest and many eucalyptus trees too, some cork, oak etc.
The oranges seemed to ripen midwinter (january, february) but nobody was picking them. I saw some mushed up the other day on their way in the back of a 4x4 to feed cattle with, well, I was lucky he never hit me as at the time I was mountain biking back up his tiny farmtrack and almost ended up in the brambles. Probably shouldn't have been there so said "bom dia" and went.
Many beers
