Thanks for stopping by!

Honestly, about the apples I do not know; the tree was here long before I moved here. It is a semi tart canning or pie apple (not as tart as a granny smith) but delicious when eaten fresh off of the tree as well.

Unless the squirrels have a feast I should have more then I can ever use- so I share them with the local soup kitchen and one of the halfway houses.

Have a great evening!

The apples look great. How long do they take to ripen?
Here is the link to the tree pot and seedling pot site. It is a little hard to understand at 1st but they have everything. You then must email your order and in a couple day you get a quote including shipping. My experience was good with them. here it is http://www.stuewe.com/index.html

Mike- thanks for the website! Perhaps I will get seedling pots and trays for Mom's day - that is, if the other half happens to read my blog :).

As far as the apples; I should be able to make a small pie or a few dumplings in the next week to ten days; this is a bumper crop- even though the squirrels have demolished about a hundred (literally) babies. I might have to do some canning and freezing this year (which is not a bad thing).

Thanks again!

You have reminded me I really want an apple tree.
Best,

Phillip,
The apple tree was here (and well established) before I bought the house. I have truly enjoyed the gifts from mom nature. I also have several blackberry brambles.... have you ever had an apple and blackberry pie? They are wonderful!
