Crab Apples

It's been a good year so far for some fruits. Some of the Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) trees in the forest are well laden. These fruits can vary widely in size and hue, though if you intend to use the fruit for jelly or some such, you could do worse than a tree like this whose fruits were of a very good size. So much so that I wondered if this example, not too far from habitation, was a hybridized example.  It's that time of year now when thoughts turn to harvesting and preserving nature wild and cultivated bounty, and this year could be a good one.
