Only a third of the apples in UK shops are grown here. But 'top fruit' - which is grown on trees - is well suited to the the climate. Charlotte Smith asks if more of the apples, pears plums and cherries we eat could be produced on home soil. She hears from farmers who've pioneered techniques to make fruit available the whole year round, to protect them from rain damage and to provide new varieties. She visits Hayles fruit farm near Cheltenham where orchards that were grubbed up years ago are now being replanted and asks if more . Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
