caitlinsmom Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I am stumped. We moved into a house with an established orchard last December. As far as I was aware we have 14 apple trees and 1 apricot tree. Today I was taking stock of winter damage when I noticed one of the apple trees looks nothing like the others. Growth habit, leaf buds, everything is different. First picture is the entire tree standing at about 8ft tall. 2nd picture is new growth and 3rd is old growth on the end branches. I cant get the pictures to upload so here is the picture link. http://naturallysimple.blogspot.com/2013/03/unkown-tree-pictures.html TIA!

Jennifer3141 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 So you haven't seen the fruit from this tree at all yet? I wonder if that's a cherry tree? We have lots of really twisty cherry trees like that up here. But there wouldn't be just one thriving like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it produced last year. There are 10 new growth spots on the whole tree. The ground is covered with shoots coming up from the roots though.

Jennifer3141 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It looks so much like a cherry tree that if I were driving by your orchard I'd think, "Cool cherry tree!" But I don't know... It's going to be interesting to see though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljenn Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't know what kind of tree it is, but I'm jealous you have so many fruit trees! I would love that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 You'll have to wait and find out. It could be lots of different trees - crabapple, pear, cherry, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
