Found a Wild Crabapple

[Swampster]

I've come across an old apple tree, and a couple of abandoned old orchards while hiking in the Appalachians. I was surprised to see the large number of apples on the ground. I would have thought the bears, deer, and other animals would have kept them cleaned up. It was always a welcome surprise after eating backpack food for several days.

If I find any this season I'll pick some up for you. I've got a bunch but most are being choked out and need to be released. I've got plenty that produce so hopefully there's some left.

Thank you!

Have you tried getting your persimmon seeds from animal scat? I did that once and got a few sprouts.

I haven't but I've heard it works.
