    The scheme overall doesn't look great but what about the traditional orchard option?

    €50 a tree but what do you need to do?

    How much land needed for 100 trees for the maximum payment?

    Is it worth the hassle?

    If you could find a market for the fruit then it might be a runner.
    Maybe make your own cider?

    I changed my mind on this, not a great environmental scheme but I might pick two other options instead which would be more suitable.

    Thanks for the replies.
