it costs half a tree.

At the start of the picking.
We marked out the branches in the middle and said where we would stop.

It is officially winter. Any fruit seen left on trees is just going to go to waste. No one is going to bother picking them in the cold weather. Plus, it will snow any day now.

It is all good news for Bernhard who is looking to make more yummy goodies out of any fruit he can still lay his hands on. So when he spied with his eye a mispel tree still full of fruit, he asked if he could have some of them. The neighbour said yes and instead of a cash transaction, a barter was struck.

For half a tree of mispel, we gave them a 2kg loaf of the bread Mattias baked which would cost 12€. It was a good trade apparently, we got about 35-40kg of fruit from half the tree.

It didn't look like much but the baskets started to fill up quickly.

Half a tree means half a tree.
We picked everything up till where we said we would stop.
