Besides his command of these arts, he was also a skilled brewer. One legend that followed him was that he tricked the Devil into putting a blight on apple trees to prevent the produc tion of his rival drink, cider. According to the tale, the blight was accomplished in the three days of May 17, 18, and 19, the latter being St. Dunstan’s Day. This was given as a reason for the cold blast that often comes at this time of year—similar to the stories of the ‘Three Chilly Saints” of the previous week. Blossoms in May are not good, some say. *r Cut thnbar at the full Moon to prevent warping and twisting.
