“Look, here is a tree in the garden and every summer is produces apples, and we call it an apple tree because the tree apples. That's what it does. Alright, now here is a solar system inside a galaxy, and one of the peculiarities of this solar system is that at least on the planet earth, the thing peoples! In just the same way that an apple tree apples!”

"The Apple Blossom"
By Scott Loring Davis, Fine Art Photography https://pixels.com/profiles/scottloringdavis

While photographing Maine's Vaughn Woods State Park, I came across a beautiful wild apple tree growing on the banks of the Salmon Falls River - READ MORE

Dark apple branches loaded with bright blossoms criss-cross the field of view in this clear spring image. Sunshine lights up the white blossoms in the middle of the photo, drawing the eye toward their upward-stretching petals. A foreground branch bars the visual 'way', creating a sense of an obstacle to be overcome before the thing-in-itself is revealed. The background is a clear blue. The mood is hopeful.

Found a spot for my apple tree that I couldn't keep on my balcony anymore. Neighbors allowed it to be planted there. Hopefully it can grow into a real apple tree now.

I don't expect them to be much edible as it was grown from normal Golden Delicious apples from Aldi. :D But I am really looking forward to see it bloom. It's four years old now.

Also liked the neighbor's reaction. "Just plant it. Guerilla gardening!"

Help, what's up with my apple #tree ?

The leaves on the new growth of branches look diseased. Photo shows example, they have a white fuzz on them and they will curl up and wither. I have a feeling it spreads back down the branch throughout the year, but unsure. It usually hosts massive colonies(?) of some sort of larvae, not sure what, covered in a silk like web. Perhaps this is it? Or perhaps they are attracted to the white stuff?

The apples grow with scabs on their skins. Related?

Photo of the apple tree taken in April. It's a close up of some leaves described in post.

Some of the Jonathan and Gravenstein apples starting to grow during the cell division phase.

A photo showing apples that have been pollinated and growing fast during cell division. The fruit is small and fuzzy and isn't much more than a swollen part of the stem below where the flower blossom was.

A photo of a Gravenstein apple growing after pollination. The dried up flower bits are on and around it with other smaller or unpollinated parts.

The old Esopus Spitzenburg tree. I think I transplanted it here in 2012, it was probably 3 years old from seedling if it wasn't just a root sucker if the other tree is grafted on a spitz root stock because it doesn't grow very fast either. So probably 15 years old. I haven't pruned it much if ever except to get wood for the grafts I did. It might be 10 feet tall now with a 4 inch trunk maybe.

A photo of an apple tree with blossoms. It is 15 years old or more and sort of small. It is growing on it's own roots and not grafted. It was damaged from ice buildup that split the right leaders as shown. They were screwed back together and sealed up when this happened probably 5 years ago now. The sky is blue with some small clouds. There is a small shed for animal shelter in the background and many trees and rocks in the landscape.

Honey bees on apple blossoms. Both of the Esopus Spitzenburg, or Spitz, are full bloom now and everything else is still blooming with some bee activity.
