Fruits of fall

[the lackster]

Hit up dad's crabapple tree for some goods here recently. My little girl and I got busy peeling and my wife cooked them down into her delicious apple sauce. I used the stock to make us a few quarts of cider that's gonna go down real smooth come cold weather. It's all delicious!!

I've never seen crabapples that large. The ones I'm familiar with are smaller than a golf ball. Bet that cider is good!

Yeah, im not convinced those are crab-apples. I am in with Old_School ….. the ones i am familiar with are the little ones that make great wrist rocket ammo

Yeah, those are definitely not crab apples. Look like galas to me.

Most of them were half dollar size but that tree had a couple of huge ones this year. Tree is nearly 40 years old.

You right, majority of the tree was tiny but for whatever reason this year it yielded a couple that were racket ball size. Dad has a dude prune it that works for a winery pruning there crops. He seems to know what he is doing. I'm sure it hasn't hurt the quality.

I’m firmly in the not crabapple camp. Could be a Royal Limbertwig, They were a pretty popular Apple during that period, especially for farms.

Could be, it was bought as a crabapple along with Arkansas black that are bigger on average than that tree, but hints the name almost black. I have gala and yellow delicious at my house. They are only 10 years old but really taking off as well as my peach trees. Definitely a long game. Like I tell my daughter, I didn't plant these trees for me.
