Cider apples

I've had my eye on this tree, I'm hoping to make some cider later in the year and this tree I'm hoping will provide me with the apples I need. It never ceases to amaze me how few natural resources are utilized, every year nuts go uncollected, blackberries go over on their canes and the apple trees near me drop their fruit unnoticed (other than by me, who's happy for the foraging opportunities). I think it's part of our collective modern mentality that if you haven't bought/paid for something it has no value, how lost we are. Anyway, these apples are developing well and fingers crossed I'll get a good crop and make some palatable cider.
