A special wilding tree


The deep red fruit from this old wilding tree are perfect, tiny apples in miniature. Red fruited trees have been used by generations of cottagers for crab apple jelly and wine. This one is still called "Jennie`s Tree" for one who harvested its fruit in years gone by.

Thank you so much for including this picture, as it reminds me of your bit of the Forest in a way no other picture can and invoking such special memories. Wish I was there to pick some right now . . .
