Apple Trees Starting To Bloom - Looks Like It Might Be A Good Year

 

      This is a photo of one of our 3 crab apple “pollinators”  Many varieties of apples require a second tree near by in order to produce.  

 

   Here are some photos of our apple  trees  gearing up for another season.   Every flower is a potential apple, if the bees do their job. 

      This picture is from a Red Delicious  just outside of our kitchen window, which we planted in 2000.  We planted this one before the idea of an orchard had entered our mind.

 

  

     I realize this will be a short post.  I didn’t have too much on my mind other than wanting to share these pictures with those of you that read the blog.
