One of my apple trees. I don't know extact the variety. It is an
aromatic, slightly sweet winter apple. 2 branches I'm using for testing
on-grafted, home-grown seedlings. So there are additionally 5 varieties
on this tree. 1 of them bore already fruit of acceptable taste and
storability.

It sort of reminds me of that tree in Harry potter movies. It must be
so nice to graft fruit trees.


The tree had stayed a long time unpruned, so I once had to cut off some
bigger branches. That's why it has that interesting shape, not to
mention the moss and lichens on its bark.
It is very nice, if some scions grow on from time to time.
