Ancient Orchards

Living World

Available for over a year

Lionel Kelleway is guided by two National Trust experts around a 100-year-old orchard in search of creatures that can only be found among the old fruit trees. Species include beetles that look like fleas and moth caterpillars that can bore holes in a tree as wide as your finger. And look out for the queen hornet and beasts that live only in mistletoe on old apple trees.
