You may recall a couple of weeks ago I put some blossoming apple branches into my backyard to try and pollinate my little apple tree. I didn’t have high hopes that it would work, but if looks don’t deceive me, I have baby apples. They are about 1.5 inches in diameter and there are about 8 of them.
I ordered a tiny twig of an apple tree, which arrived a week or two ago. What’s completely amazing is that this puny little runt of a tree is blossoming! I thought I would have to wait a couple years like I did with my first tree.
I’m going up to my in-laws house this weekend and might get greedy and bring back some of their apple tree branches which are blooming right now. Maybe I can pollinate my little tiny tree and get an apple or two it’s first year.
That’s so great! What varieties are you growing?
I have Sundance and now Pixie Crunch. They are both dwarf varieties.
How are they doing, now that it is October?
Thanks for asking. I need to make a short post about the 5 apples I got from our tree.
