Did some chauffer work for the Masters golf tournament again this year. We were based out of an old house in Augusta. Surprised to see this loquat fruiting well alongside the driveway!

Maybe @alan could tell, he’s one of the most knowledgeable about apples I’m aware of. I don’t know enough to say, but doesn’t look like bird damage to me but it does look like a good bruise.

One of my heartnuts. they were left without deer protection for maybe a few days late last year and deer ate the apical buds. a bud just south is forming new leaves.
that same heartnut is forming some catkins I think?

I had to do an emergency taste test this afternoon.
That brown ring on the apple seems to go down to the core.

Seems so weir to see apple that size right now. Especially when they are still blooming here.

Those are some great shots. I’m just using my phone and it tends to struggle at taking pictures of things without faces. Especially close up.
