The apple came down it had to fall...
is a line in a Runrig song, that came to my mind as soon as I saw our apple tree lying flat in the garden.
About 100 kg of apples was too much for this small tree. We had to harvest far too early, and the tree was not to be rescued... a shame, but hey... that's life!
I am still drowning in fruits... apples... and another prune tree is turning blue...
I can't remember when we had such a lot of fruits, where ever you look, every tree is loaded.
Hope you all are doing well, and excuse my absence on this site, but the garden is asking every second of my time.
Cheers,
Johanna

Look a bit like our Cox apples Johanna, very tasty they are. Sad about the tree. It's been affected like the one on the moor,

Sad tale of the tree but at least you had plenty of apples

I, too, was thinking it looked like a Cox, the best British apple imo. Plenty of blackberry and applie pies now

there is a lot of fruit around this year I have been lucky and been given good rhubarb and plums for the freezer, good to hear from you Joanna
I thought this one had been felled during the recent storms, we've had a lot of heavy rain and strong winds at times just recently. You've got quite a harvest here and will have your work cut out to deal with all those apples!
What a lot of apples! Shame about the tree, but a great set of images, Johanna 
Hope you're keeping well

Such a pity ... doesnt look that old either
Oh well I guess you made good use of it all
I suppose we can call you the apple pie lady now Johanna 
Pity to lose such a productive tree in its prime too by the looks of things. Was reading about the gales in Scotland caused by the remnants of Hurricane Katia, they were saying the trees were particularly vulnerable because they still had so much foliage, I'd never thought of that! In your case it was too heavy with apples, maybe you were cutting the grass too short around its base and as a consequence weakened its support
