Broken Apple Tree....


My Wolf River Apple Tree broke due to the weight of the apples. I have "The Boys " here with me this week and we spent all morning picking the apples. They are not near as big as they shoud be, but they are still huge. I have given apples to everyone today. Next to the apple tree you can see the edge of my cucumber patch. I have made three gallons of cold pack pickles already. Busy time....but a wonderful time!!!!!

I'm sorry your apple tree broke. Will it grow back next year? I am sure you and the boys are having fun. I am glad they were there to help you pick.

I don't know Marci, if it will grow back or not. It was the main big limb that broke out. There are just two smaller limbs left. I bought some prune and seal to put on the scar from the break. I hope this will keep the tree from dying.

Hi Clara, sure would love to have some of them good ole pickles. I bet you do the good way, the "old timey" pickle. Has been years since I had a good pickle. I enjoy your site so much. I added your link to my site so others can enjoy as well! God Bless!

If you think about it next time you visit me, tell about wolf river apples...I have never heard of them. Are they sweet, sour...pick early, later, etc.
