Beautiful apple trees. Thanks for sharing!
Our local (Munchkey Apples) has about 9,000 trees and they are all pruned to look as if they have no branches, and the apples look ‘columnar’ on each tree. I guess that makes for easy picking for staff or those that want to pick their own.
Mom & I go there each fall and split a few pecks of different varieties for pies and sauce and such. They have good prices on ‘scratch & dent’ apples.
I buy locally and seasonally whenever I can. :)

My part of Wisconsin is currently in an ‘Abnormally Dry’ period, which is true. They keep TALKING about rain, but nothing is developing. I had to water my garden yesterday, which is odd because we’re either treading water or still shoveling snow at this time.
Wishing you a drought-free growing season, BUT I have found that having a drier growing season is better than too much rain. ;)
The guys are working hard, and early, to get crops planted all around us. This is the earliest either of us can remember in many, many season.
