APPLE OF MY EYE

 Our old apple tree that's probably about 40 or more years old hasn't had an easy life. When we moved in 3 years ago it did not bloom at all. We figured it was on its way out but we pruned it and cut off an entire dead side. The next year it had a few blooms and a couple of puny runt apples. But this year after more pruning and care it has rewarded us with a nice bloom. 

 The trunk that goes to the right in this photo is completely dead but the left one is doing much better.

We still don't know what kind of apple it produces but I have a feeling we'll find out this year. I'm guessing it might be an original red delicious (now called a Cameo in the stores). Or it could be a golden delicious.
