| apple tree | | does anyone know where i could buy a real apple tree, not a man made one IE: not one with another tree`s branch stuck on to it to create the perfect apple. I'm wanting to plant a real tree in my garden that will produce seeds that will grow into a tree that can produce eating apples( all the one`s in garden centre`s are not natural) i`ve looked on net but cant seem to find a good old fashioned apple tree. i would be very grateful for any info.:) | |
| | Apple Tree, many apples, many birds, apples lose | | Wouldn't you know it? Last year, it was the worms that bore holes in our apples, so there was not that many of them left hole, most of them fell on the ground and we only had enough for four quarts of apple sauce, and four packages of sliced apples. This year, the birds took turns poking holes in the apples, every single one of them except for the ones I picked green. I swear the black birds and the robins had help. The could not have done it all by themselves. | |
| | Apple Tree Problems | | Okay as most my friends know I have 2 apple trees in my back yard. Now my Honeycrisp is posing a semi problem I feel. It has around 100 medium sized apples on the branches. Being as I am new to the fruit tree field I need to see if anyone here has a solution or whatever for this problem. As you can see by the attactched photo my apples will be ready in about 2 months or less to harvest. The problem is that this is a 2 year old tree. The trunk is maybe 2 inches in diameter. The branches are much smaller. As you can tell in this photo the weight of this many apples has caused the brances to drop heavily almost touching the ground. My question is do I need to support the branches or what? I've never had this before. The tree seems fine as it stands but I hate the look of the branches drooping like they do from the weight. But the apples are still doing great AS WELL. HELP PLEASE?

| | What is the "season" for apples? | | I love the fact that anymore you can get fruit in and out of season. But a lot of times the fruit out of season just doesn't seem to be a very good quality. I have had a bad time with apples, I LOVE apples, but they seem to be squishy and soft already in the store! In the back of my head I think fallish is their in season, but I check everytime I go to the store and for the past year or so I haven't seen a significant change in the quality of the fruit. | |
| | Apple trees! It sometimes pays to be tough. Have you tried it? | | The apple trees in the picture are a James Grieve in the foreground and behind it a Cox's Orange. The James Grieve has regularly produced fruit but had grown quite straggly. The Cox's had not produced anything in the last 6 years or so. In spring I considered taking the Cox's completely away but decided to give it one last chance and I cut it back to less than half it's size. I did the same with the other to improve it's shape. Both trees are now absolutely laden with apples.
The James Grieve is a very tasty crisp apple. The Cox's is also tasty but harder.
I did not just randomly hack off branches here and there but cut carefully where I thought it would produce new shoots and also cut a lot away from the centre to give them more air and light. They have both responded well to my very harsh treatment and will provide my friends and family with all the lovely sweet apples they can eat.
For cooking apples I have the 71 year old Booskop.
If you have an old apple tree do not be frightened to give it a severe "short back and sides". | |
| | The Boy & The Apple Tree | | A long time ago, there was a huge tree.
It loved a little boy very much, the boy loved to come and play around it everyday.
He climbed to the treetop.
Ate the apples.
Take a nap under the shadow.
He loved the tree, the tree was so happy!
Time went by...
One day, the boy came back to the tree.
The tree said "Come and play with me."
"I am no longer a kid, I do not play around a tree anymore."
"I want toys. I need money to buy them."
Sorry, but I do not have money... But you can pick all my apples and sell them.
So, you will have money.
The boy was so excited.
He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.
The tree was happy.
One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited.
"Come and play with me", the tree said.
I do not have time to play.
I have to work for my family.
We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?
"Sorry, but I do not have any house. But youc an chop off my branches to build your house."
So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then.
The tree was again lonely and... | |

| | Yellow iris | | around one of my apple trees I have a ton of iris planted. they are finally budding and should open in a weeks time. I am thinking this is an iris. If it isn't can someone please correct me. I got these from a neighbor years ago and don't recall but am almost positive they're iriseds. I have some along side the house by the office window as well as some in my raised flower bed along the garage.
