It’s raining apples – Good job Sir Isaac Newton didn’t sit under this tree
This is the moment cider makers helped squeeze the last drop from an orchard by shaking a tree – to make hundreds of apples fall to the floor.
The rainfall of apples was caught on camera at an orchard which provides ingredients for Sheppy’s Cider in Bradford-on-Tone, Somerset.
Some apples fail to fall near the end of the growing season and farmers are forced to help them along.
They attach a cable to the top and use a tractor to bend the top of the tree – shaking the apples free.
Photographer Bill Bradshaw, of Langport, Somerset, caught the moment the red and yellow apples fell to floor.
He said: ”It looked beautiful – the apples were cascading in a huge flurry.
”There was an old guy and young chap who attached a cable to the top of the tree.
”The old guy pulled away in a tractor and the whole tree shook and every last remaining apple fell out.”
