There must have been an orchard here a long time ago, judging by the number of wild apple trees growing in the brush behind the old barn and along the edges of the nearby woods. None of the apple trees bear fruit edible for humans (unless used for cider) and so deer, squirrels, raccoons, other wildlife, and the occasional escaped cow, all enjoy the bounty. This year there has been a bumper crop, compared to last year when a late frost destroyed the apple blossom. My pic shows ripe wild apples.
