I found this one late this winter after following a deer trail looking for sheds. Noticed the scrape under it and Looked up to notice the apple tree form with a bunch of tracks around it. Decided to cut out all the brush under it and mow a bit around it. Cut out the low dead wood and it could use some trimming this coming winter! I had already trimmed a bit on the right side of the photo. What the base of the tree looked like Scrape under one of the trees limbs Lots of little crabs forming The after shot. I was running out of time and it was getting hot, so all of the brush is still laying under the tree for me to pick up later My brother headed out tonight for the last hunt at the property that this tree is on. He swung by my house before going out there to grab sd cards. I mentioned that I had a camera on a crab apple out there but he’d never find it. He was going to just ease his way into the property until he found sign and set up. I got this pic from him just a bit ago and it said, found the crab apple! Lol, it snowed until after dark yesterday, so this is just from last night/this morning! Guess they are liking what I did 👍🏼

Made a trip to this piece of land yesterday before my infusion. Still beat down tracks under it and quite a few crabs left. 2 grouse flew from the area as I walked up to it. Gave the tree a shake and made a loop. When I got back, there was already a deer under it looking for drops!

It might have to be all wind that knocks the apples off. Oh yes, arm movement creates wind!

No on the edge of a CRP field, next to a wetland. I’m gonna put a camera by it in August.

Will fruit be affected by this cold drop in temps this week? Not around here. Most of my trees are fully dormant yet. A few are starting to show bud swell, but the cold won't impact them at all.
