This is the second installment on my search for new apple varieties . I haven’t spent as much time searching the woods , fields and river bottoms this year as last but have had some success with the time I have spent. Will start out with a red fleshed apple that is suitable for eating right off the tree
Chris,
Nice pics and good find. Congrats.
I thought you would go hunt those wild apples in the woods among thickets. From the pic, it looks like the trees are in the middle of a field somewhere.
Yes these are in an over grown field. Another spot up the road a few miles there are many,many hundreds of wild apple trees that have taken over where they used to grow taters up until the depression. Found several interesting ones there also ( only covered a small portion of them) The problem with that day was the wife and the youngest boy who is autistic went with me. I picked samples off the better trees and he picked any and all apples and mixed them all together 
So I will have to try and go back and get samples again some time . I have one more real pretty and excellent eating apple I will post later that I am real excited about. So far those that have tasted it have gone wow !
I hope you make a note about which apple is from what tree In case you need to go back for scionwood.
Yes I am going to be in that area several times over the next week or so and plan on stopping when I am. I have marked most of what I want to get scion wood from already but ran out of flagging ( didn’t realize what I had was almost gone until I was on the road) So what I plan on doing the next time is to take tags and write notes on them to put on the trees.
I always enjoy your posts about your apple hunts. Looking forward to more pictures and descriptions.
Love the new varieties! Gorgeous apples!
I’m amazed how many red fleshed varieties there are and they really are beautiful apples! Can’t imagine that cider!
It’s incredible how all these trees just randomly grew up like this…nature is pretty amazing…
I have a couple pics I still need to post if I can find them now. Been a wile since I have been on here. I get real busy with things at times. I work full time + plenty of over time (although I do take a layoff in the spring and fall) sell fire wood , trap (on a scale to provide income) and then there is the recent project of trying to grow some of these new apple varieties along with established ones and , starting a small fruit tree nursery ( 19 year old son expressed interest in the nursery thing and so the hope is he will be doing half the work then “most” of the work if it works out)
