Post by: snuggleycutejc on September 26, 2017, 11:03:10 am
I have had an apple tree but the fruit always ends up a bit odd shaped, not easy to grow one! Happy Johnny Appleseed Day! Do you feel apples are good for you? I like apple sauce too. Have a gr8 day  :present: !

No apple tree here but I can drive an hour or so from my house to go to some great apple farms.

Yes, I have one remaining apple tree (I used to have four, but they died from disease).

I don't have an apple tree or any other type of fruit-bearing tree.  I wish I did though.  We have a large back lot where I could plant as many trees as I'd want but we also have deer that graze on that lot nearly every day so I doubt fruit trees would survive.

No apple tree but there are some apple tree farms where we could go pick our own for a family adventure.

No.  I don't have an apple tree, I wish.  I'm so sorry that we didn't plant fruit trees esp avocados when I first moved in this house.  We planted pine trees... lol

I have an apple tree but it gets these strange worms on it and then the fruit is no good. I do love apples though. Every year my family gets apples from a local orchard and we make apple pie.

We don't have any but a neighbor does and we are lucky to be friends with them and they always give me a bushel or two, they also donate a lot of them to  a food bank which  is great.  Another  neighbor has three large pecan trees and she is not able to  rake the leaves and pick all of them up. So we go and  help do it, sometimes while she is gone we  really  go at it. When she comes  home me may have 5-8 bushel  of nuts picked up. Then she has them cracked and a lot of the shells  fall off, but I still have to go through them to get   a lot of the shell picked out as she can't see them.  She gives a lot of them and I store themin my freezer for ages while I use them up.  I am so grateful for great neighbors.

I do not have an apple tree.  We go to an apple orchard to pick apples every year.  I like to pick the apples for eating and usually by a bag or two of "seconds" (apples that have fallen) and use those to make apple butter.
This year we took our 2 year old grandson.

I've tried but either the birds or bugs or something always gets to the tree so they really don't bear good enough apple to eat.  I just gave up after a while and just buy my stuff at the market.

No but I'd like to have some fruit trees. I've planted some young ones but they tend to die off before they get to fruit bearing age and it's not cheap to keep trying.

We use to have a bunch of them but we got them all cut down now. As they get older they just don't produce very well and it is a lot of work picking up a million apples every year.

I would love to have an apple tree in my yard! We've only got one tree, and it's an elm -- no fruit there. I'm not a huge apple fan, but my youngest son loves them. I pack a really big apple in his lunchbox every day, and he never gets tired of them. :heart:

I used to have an apple tree on my property but it died and had to be chopped down. It had really tiny not-so-tasty apples on it anyways. Now when we want apples we drive into southern NY State to a town called Waldwick that has loads of apple farms nearby. We can pick our own apples of several different varieties there.

I currently have a pecan tree in my front yard.  I've decided to gift neighbors bags of pecans instead of the usual holiday gift bags I usually give.  Should be appreciated- pecans are expensive.

Where I live, I don't think the soil just right for it.  Too many chemicals and too many others to name for growing trees of any type.

We used to have an apple tree a few years ago.  It was so much fun to gather and eat those apples, but alas, the tree died.  I'm not sure what happened to it.  But then, we had a peach tree come up from a seed, just randomly.  We didn't plant it!  Some years it has lots of peaches, but somehow, they never develop into edible peaches.  I guess we need lessons on growing fruit trees.

I don't, but I wish I had my own garden. I live in an apartment building and there's just nowhere to really put it. If I did it outside my front door, I couldn't trust anything grown in it because my neighbors would tamper with it.

I would love to have an apple tree, although I know someone who has one, and they are not apples like at the store. Little and wormy at times. Maybe would not be quite what I'm thinking.

I bought a tree from a discount store a few years ago. Turned out it was an apple tree that produces tart green apples. I had apples until the squirrels found out and now every year they take a bite out of each apple and throw it on the ground. I really hate squirrels.  :sad1:

I had an apple tree in the back yard but cut it down a few years ago.  The deer would come and get a good meal and also eat the crab apples.  We had a lot of trees cut down because they would fall during storms.

I used to have an apple tree but the apples on it were pretty small and pitiful looking. I certainly never ate one. The tree finally died and we took it down. Apples are very good for you though and I usually eat one just about every day but they come from a Farmers Market.

We don't have an apple tree, but we had two at our first home.

I had two small children at the time.  We used to pick the apples, load the Radio Flyer red wagon and walk around the block and neighborhood to give apples away.

We also made applebutter for gifts.....Sunday School teachers, school teachers, family.

No, I don’t have an apple tree of my very own, but I sometimes wish I did. Steve Jobs loved apples (probably his favorite fruit). That’s why his technology company is called “Apple.”
