Apple Trees

Kghareeb · « **on:** March 26, 2015, 18:03 »

Hi to all,

Three years ago I planted about 25 apple trees, some of the trees have flowered this year however from photos of apple blossoms I have seen on the internet my blossoms have me a little worried. I have attached some photos and would appreciate anyone who can confirm that my trees are apple. Thanks.

I can't. But where are you - that view is fantastic!

The buds look OK to me ... flowers would be better confirmation. But I'm not expert.

The leaves look right and the blossom is typical of a tip bearing species. What variety are they supposed to be?

Hi ptarmigan, when I tell you where I"m, you will at first be shocked, then surprised and finally understand a different view of this place.iraq, well Kurdistan of Iraq.

Kghareeb, it would really help other forum members if you could put your country in your forum profile - otherwise people will continue to assume you're in the UK by default, and you won't get focused responses to your questions. Thanks

Hi kghareeb, I have golden delicious and they don't look anything like what you have, my bush/tree has flowers all over the stems/branches, Dave

Hullo Kghareeb,

I would not worry that your trees do not look like Dave NE's

It is looks very dry where you are.
That may be why you only have leaves and flowers on the tips of the branches.

There is a photo of Golden Delicious flowers at this link:

Do your flowers look anything like that?

Thanks maloneranger, actually the trees have just started to bud and the shoots are starting to burst. I don't have flowers yet. Last two years I had plenty of leaves without flower, this is the first blossem I have seen on these trees. I should also add that I did prune these trees heavily this year.
