First Fruit
Today, I ate an apple off our little baby apple tree which we planted a couple(?) of years ago. A Golden Delicious. The tree is a multi - I think it will have Grannies and Fujis (if we don't kill it with our ignorance and neglect.) I wondered how good the apple would be as it has languished in the fridge for a week or two (the primary apple eater(s) holding out for a Granny or a Fuji), but it was very good indeed. When I was a kid, Golden Delicious was my favorite. But they must be crisp. I think I started preferring Grannies and Fujis when I started eating them with sharp cheese. It seems I prefer not to eat a tart apple by itself. A good Golden is delicious by itself, as this one reminded me. hmmmmm. I think there is another one in the fridge. Tomorrow!

Yay! Is it a mini fruit tree or full size? I'm thinking about planting a mini fruit tree or two along my back fence. Possibly cherry and apple.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the fruits of your labor! :)
It's a dwarf tree. Have you read about espanlier? That's training trees to grow basically flat against a wall or fence. I think it would take some dedication, but what a space saver!
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of that before, I'll have to look into it. Thanks! :)
