My husband made a comment when I told him I was going to take a picture of the tree. "The tree we grow for the bugs." We really should spray the tree so we would actually want to eat the apples. Oh well, they look festive.

It's hard to decide whether to spray or not. The apples are pretty even if you can't eat them.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I love it! They're awfully stubborn, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThe tree looks kind of funny with the apples still on it. At least it has some color :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the splash of color...and the birdbath is lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
What great colors in that first pic!
ReplyDeleteThose apples do look very decorative for the holidays! :)
ReplyDeleteI would have never expected to see a leafless tree holding on to its fruit! Absolutely fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's a more natural deterrent than spray? I use sweet basil in my tomatoes each year...I'm not sure what would work for apple bugs though...they are pretty though :)
ReplyDeleteI think gardens are really interesting at this time of year. There is something skeletal about them, and a sense of waiting. But the faded and curled leaves, the bare branches -- there's a whole different feel to the place in the fall/winter.
ReplyDeleteHere's my snapshot.
What a prolific little tree! It's like The Little Engine That Could :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely autumn yard with your darling, little tree. It makes me smile. The apples look like hearts hanging on the tree.
ReplyDelete:)
You yard doesn't look nearly as bad as you think, and I love the apple tree.
ReplyDeleteI love it! The color is fantastic
ReplyDeleteThose apples sure look pluckable!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Saturday
Snapshot post!
It looks like a pretty tree. Do the birds enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteEverything looks like autumn! Looks great.

That's a lot of apples for that little tree. It's not so bad they are still hanging on, they add nice color to the yard.
ReplyDeleteThe apples are a lovely burst of colour. Do you need to spray? We don't spray our apples, and they're fine to eat.
ReplyDeleteThe apples are fine to eat if one doesn't mind sharing them with the apple maggots. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteFestive indeed! I like it. Nice splash of colour when a lot of the other beautiful colours are gone.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think your garden is still quite lovely. I love gardens in any season. Even after the "good" stuff is gone, there's always something neat to discover. For instance, in early spring, winter and late fall, branches structures can be seen and can be quite interesting.
