Apple Blossom time


Apple blossoms give us hope for future harvest. Fruit should be ready to pick in about September. One of my apple trees is grafted stock originally purchased from Stark's in about 1957 and planted in our 20 acre orchard, on a farm in Idaho. It's the best Red Delicious you could imagine. The fruit is red with green stripes, sweet, crisp and solid. Makes wonderful pies, applesauce and fresh eating.
