APPLE BLOSSOMS!

nobody@flickr.com (Shutterfool) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:19:49 -0700

We have 2 large old apple trees on the farm, which were covered in blooms this spring.
It will be interesting to see what kind of apples the trees will produce.

On my redbud tree. Spring has come to the farm

"A small tree with a sturdy upright trunk which divides into stout branches that usually spread to form a broad flat head. Found on rich bottom lands. Will grow in the shade and often becomes a dense undergrowth in the forest. Very abundant in Ohio, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and eastern Texas. Hardy far north; grows rapidly; is a satisfactory ornamental tree. Many trees are sterile and produce no fruit.

American Indians consumed redbud flowers raw or boiled, and ate roasted seeds. Analysis of nutritional components in edible parts of eastern redbud reported that:

-the flower extract contains anthocyanins,
-green developing seeds contained proanthocyanides, and
-linolenic, alpha-linolenic, oleic and palmitic acids to be present in seeds.
