I would like to grow a small apple tree in our garden. Just need to decide what might be best. One neighbor down the street has a couple apple trees and there are a couple pollinators near by.ChrisNDhttp://chrisnd.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-91218952539018354952009-12-09T10:02:22.000-07:002009-12-09T10:02:22.000-07:00True confessions...

I planted one of those and now I have lots of fruit. None of it edible -- because, as I confessed to you, I thought it wise to grow apple trees from seed.

When I was young, I used to have to rake up after two HUGE ones every fall! YUCK!<br><br>I did plant one in my garden, but it has huge flowers (looks like little magnolia flowers), the bark is a shiny red-orange, and the fruit stays on the tree through the winter creating a decorated "winter tree"!Sylvanahttp://obsessivegardener.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-28371683808960694652009-12-08T21:05:20.000-07:002009-12-08T21:05:20.000-07:00Wow.

The tree do look very beautiful from your pictures.<br>Its a pity the tree have to go because of all the mess that it caused.<br><br>I wish I got apple blossoms in my place, that surely would look very cheerful & lovely in the monotone of tropical green.jameshttp://www.jamesmissier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
