I have a very small fruit tree orchard at my house. We have six young trees that have been planted over the past 5 years. I have three peach, and three apple trees. 2011 was a horrible year for peaches. We had a "Perfect Storm" that took care of all the buds on our peach trees. This is the first time that I have been able to actually harvest apples from my trees. The most successful tree was our Akane Apple tree. The apple trees are young enough that they didn't produce a ton of apples, but enough to make me proud to be a backyard gardener. We will probably can a couple of jars of Apple Pie Filling or Apple Sauce, but I'm not sure yet.
Check out the pics of my Akane Apples.
