More Wordless Wednesday

Jana said...: My grandparents used to have a crabapple tree in their front yard. I tried eating one once (when I was a kid) and...that didn't quite work out so well for me. Blech!

They sure are pretty though! :D; Wednesday, August 29, 2012 11:47:00 AM
Heather said...: Yeah, much like wild grapes they're okay for cooking, but not so much raw eating.

I'm going to miss the flowering crabapple tree in spring that was outside my old apartment.; Wednesday, August 29, 2012 12:15:00 PM
Yvonne said...: Very pretty and I love the coloring.; Thursday, August 30, 2012 5:33:00 AM
Alice Audrey said...: I'm not too fond of crab apples. We had three trees behind our house when I was a kid, which meant an abundance of crab apples on the ground which, apparently, I was supposed to deal with. Mostly I just ran the lawn mower over the top and pleaded ignorance.; Thursday, August 30, 2012 9:11:00 AM
Heather said...: Yvnonne: Thank you!

Alice: That can be a problem with some species of crabapple. My friend Kim curses her tree every time she has to rake up apples under it before she can mow.; Thursday, August 30, 2012 11:04:00 AM
Alice Audrey said...: What I disliked the most were the prickly branches.; Monday, September 03, 2012 12:58:00 AM
Heather said...: Ah. Can't say I've ever given much thought to the branches--but then, I've never had to prune or mow under them. *g*; Monday, September 03, 2012 11:51:00 AM
