The birds still empty the feeder each day, but it's been taking a little longer than when we had the super cold temperatures last week, so my guess is that it's better scrumping this week for them.<br /><br />we had an old apple tree here, type unknown. It blew over a few years ago, and the second oldest apple tree has been bearing fruit. I usually leave them for the deer to eat, but ought to try them just to see what they taste like. <br /><br />Lots of older places here have apple trees, most are unknown varieties and quite local. There are some apple nerds about who'll see if they can tell you what kind you have, and if it's a rare, desirable type, they'll ask for a cutting to graft or an apple so they can grow their own.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-33534047628242774022014-12-12T17:55:47.946+00:002014-12-12T17:55:47.946+00:00Surely there is an extension service (that's w...Surely there is an extension service (that's what they call it here) through the area that could tell you what kind of apple it is.
