WOW!!!  Look at  all the baby apples on this tree.  Last year we had this many apples but the squirrels stole most of them....Until the apples got too big, then they couldn't haul them off.  So we got those.  This year we hope to get more.

 

Apples need pollinators in order to make fruit.  It takes at least two trees.  We researched it and found that Golden delicious are the best pollinators because their bloom season is long, and they are able to pollinate many other apple trees.  We love golden delicious apples, but the squirrels stole them ALL.  
 

We got one tree at Nelson's Ace Hardware in Blairsville that was grafted with three different scions.  Three different types of apples.  That way they can pollinate themselves.  
 

We love our trees, especially our apples.  When they are ripe, I'll let you know.  We may need help picking, and eating.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
