Britain is heading for a record-breaking apple crop with the long, hot summer producing super sweet fruit that promise an exceptional cider vintage. One of the country’s leading producers, Showerings, is expecting a “monster crop” of 2,500-3,000 tonnes of apples, compared to the 1,000 harvested last year. Orchard master Bob Wadley believes the heatwaves and sunshine boosted sugar content, while the recent rain allowed the apples to swell.
