APPLES 
Apples are one of the most delicious and valuable fruits. While small fruits are 
unexcelled for fresh use and for canning the apple is the one fruit that can be 
stored for a winter supply of fresh fruit. The trees grow rapidly and bear young, 
usually about three years after planting except the variety Northern Spy which 
is late in coming into bearing. In May the trees are covered with fragrant colorful 
flowers making it a valuable shade and ornamental tree. For proper pollination 
plant at least two or more varieties. 


Apples provide a source of delicious fresh fruit through the fall and winter months
