Crab Apples

It is crab apple season. They are ripe, ready to go, and falling frost the tree all the time. It is a bumper crop this year. I haven’t ever seen the tree so full of blossoms as this past spring, and now it is so laden with red fruit that it wouldn’t surprise me if the tree groaned out loud. There is an astonishing amount of fruit on the branches. It is too bad it isn’t a more useful fruit. Mr. TOF is already lamenting about how many crab apples there are going to be on the ground for him to pick up in the next few weeks.
