This apple tree is so heavy with apples that it looks more like a shrub. Hubby thinned it several times and probably ended up with 3 or 4 five-gallon buckets full that were composted. The quail love it under there. It is their new hangout everyday. In the evening you can see a long line of quail heading to the other side of the yard to sleep under one of the pine trees.
This is about 3/4 of the apples. We only picked what we could get by standing and sitting on the ground. The quail yelled at us quite a bit that day. The front half of the tree above is Golden Delicious and the Back half of the tree is McIntosh. Thus the yellow and red apples. We canned apple slices, pie filling, and apple juice. Also dehydrated tons of them.
