Alongside the estate is an old fruit orchard from the 18th century, which offers a look at a few interesting trees, including nine old apple trees, one pear tree (the rare "Windsor" variety), two types of plum trees, as well as sweet and sour cherry trees.  Of the greatest interest is the ancient apple tree that is known as the Little Barrel.  All twisted and gnarly, it continues to produce fruit.  A recently planted royal walnut tree is outside the home, and there are also grapes, actinidias and a black elder tree.
