This apple tree was
one I found in Longford park, late winter. It has a brown and fissured bark.
Its reproductive parts include white flowers, or flowers tinged with pink. Its
fruits are normally larger than 5cm in diameter. There are more than 2,000
varieties of cultivated apple that are particular to Britain and Ireland.
Timber from the Apple Tree is excellent for wood turning, for making mallet
heads, and for imparting a rich fragrance to wood smoke on log fires. Thrives
in well drained or moist soil, and decent amounts of sunlight.
