Apple flow

The apples are superabundant this year.  Far more than last year."They say" that a good apple year means a hard winter.  We shall see.  It seemed true in 2014.Tree #5 has huge fruits on it that would rival any store bought Honeycrisp.  So would the taste.  Delicious.These trees, while some have been released or had a little pruning, are for the most part still as wild as when we got here.  Overgrown, diseased, crowded.  Poor things.  There's too many.  They don't get plenty of attention.   This tree, #47, is glorious!  Huge, I can't even get it all in a picture.  The trunk has a mean lean and it looks like it's nearly dead, but every year, it's a wonder.  Despite a 45˚ list it's still tall, and crazy heavy with apples. It also has large fruit. I like this little tree.  Not so little, but it has little pink-yellow fruit and in the two summers since it got released it has been rejuvenating itself.  New low branches, and the fruit is coming in thicker and larger.  I also don't know what any of these heritage apples are.  I get conflicting IDs.The pigs are the chief beneficiaries of these riches.  They get a bucket of windfalls every day.  And the birds, and chickens,  and squirrels, and chipmunks, and wasps.  I have too much applesauce left over, so I'm not canning it this year, but hopefully, there will be cider:)
