Apples are great food at any price. If you can believe it, Eve was able to temp Adam with an apple and being the apple of your eye is an affectionate phrase seldom heard these days. I like apples and both Gala and Fuji are delicious. I planted dwarf apple trees about three years ago and the Gala and Fuji both had clusters of apples on them this spring. Nice size and growing. More than enough for an apple pie. But yesterday when I checked on their growth I was shocked to see them gone—like they had never been there. Disappointed, I checked the progress of the cherries on the dwarf cherry tree and saw something but am not sure they are the beginnings of cherries or not. The cherry tree did bloom but whether that translates into a cherry pie remains to be seen.
