Hi everyone,
We’re working on an Orchard People podcast episode about
native crabapples, and we’d love to feature your images—along with the stories behind them!
If you have photos of specific native crabapple species (e.g.
Malus coronaria, fusca, angustifolia, ioensis, etc.), we’d be thrilled to use them (with credit, of course!).
If you’d like to contribute, we’d love to know more about your trees:
1. Where did you find or plant this crabapple tree?
2. Did you grow it from seed, or was it naturally occurring?
3. How did you identify the species? (Are you confident in the ID, and what resources did you use?)
4. What’s the fruit like? (Taste, size, color, how you use it, etc.)
5. Does the tree have any special significance? (Historical, personal, or ecological value?)
6. What’s its growth habit like? (Tree size, shape, resilience, any noticeable disease resistance?)
7. Have you noticed any wildlife interactions? (Pollinators, birds, animals that enjoy the fruit?)
8. Do you have any personal experiences or observations that make this tree special?
If you’re open to sharing, please reply here or send photos and stories our way podcast@orchardpeople dot com.
We’d love to highlight your photos in the podcast and your experiences in the accompanying article!
