Default hopi crabapple in blooms and this is 15 October

If that is true then there is a practical way of getting fresh
apples in winter if we plant a apple tree inside a huge tub of
dirt that can be wheeled inside a greenhouse or a greenhouse
wheeled over a apple tree and kept warm during winter. Of course
the economics of keeping an apple tree warm probably outweighs the
benefit of fresh apples in winter.


Orchards in Chile, Argentina, New Zealand and Tasmania provide off
season apples with less bother than moving trees around.
