Apple Tree

Description:

The wild apple tree has lived with humans before written history and has lived socially ever since. It has a short, muscular trunk, steel-gray bark with side, round ridges that spiral as though the whole tree, twisted by wind, had spun around. Produces juicy fruit. We have an apple orchard and hundreds of wild apples in the forest. Too many to name the actual kind of apples. I like this winter picture of the rotten apple in the crux of the tree limbs and on the ground surrounded by ice.
