**Is this an apple tree?**

[ShellieESterling]

This is the tree I was questioning. It's so close to the addition they put on, I don't want it to get hurt. It looks pretty shabby already and doesn't get much sunlight (except the canopy). I'm thinking it's an apple, but anyone know what kind?

Please, correct me if I'm mistaken!

Sorry this shots a little fuzzy! Don't mind their 'professional' building skills either

Someone, anyone?


Clearly I don't read the Index section, I didn't know there was a Plant ID section. Can a mod move this, maybe?

i think it is.

Could be. Could be apple, crabapple, something in the Malus genus.

MissPrissy said crabapples make awesome jelly, didn't she?

At any rate, I hope it's an apple tree. The neighbor across the street has an small orchard himself.

Looks like it could be an apple tree.

Something I like even better than crabapple jelly, are spiced crabapples. Have you had them? I can't find them anymore, though you used to be able to buy them anywhere. They were served with pork, chicken etc.

They are something like spiced peaches, and well worth putting up!

hard to tell but I have a big old tree and it looks very similar.

I'm worried about the people who will be living in that addition. I have never seen construction like that. I hope it doesn't topple the tree. And where can I get a crab apple jelly recipe?

Sorry, I'm cracking up over here. Yes, I agree, that's some mighty fine handy work there, isn't it? It's actually a kennel and we've decided to just tear the whole thing off.
And MissPrissy from BYC I'm sure has a recipe for the jelly, since she was the one that mentioned it.
