Apples


There aren't great numbers of them but the apples this year look pretty good.

There are three trees - each situated at one of three corners where the ancestral farm house stood all so many years ago.

The house has been long gone for years. The trees remain.

One tree is positively ancient with a thick and gnarly trunk. The second tree is slightly less old and the third (from whence this fruit was plucked) is the youngest.

They make for good applesauce, apple butter and pie filling.

We have no clue what cultivar they are.
