In recent years, hundreds of apple trees have been planted in the Hilbersdorf apple park using old, hardy local varieties. Several neighbours were involved. The planting and maintenance partners include organisations as diverse as BUND, the Chemnitz School Model, the Dschoy company and NABU. Reiner Amme explains how the trees grow and thrive and reports on the special features of the varieties.
