Ep. 288 : Appreciating Apples

<p>In this wonderful season of harvest and plenty I wanted to share some gratitude for my favorite fruit. Like most everyone, I have long appreciated Apples (<em>Malus domestica</em>). They are fairly ubiquitous and common, but, as with many of the forms of life I like to talk about on this show, I feel like they are also underappreciated. </p><p>We notice the fruit, but do we know how the flowers grow? The growth habit of the tree? The history? Some of us might need a refresher. </p><p>Hope you enjoy!</p><p>Photo by Nat</p><p><strong>To learn more :</strong><br><a href="https://mandolin-raccoon-xcnt.squarespace.com/podcast/ep256" target="_blank">Ep. 256 : Apple Scat of Coyotes and Red Fox</a><br><a href="https://mandolin-raccoon-xcnt.squarespace.com/podcast/ep135" target="_blank">Ep. 135 : Brian Husband and The Ontario Heritage and Feral Apple Project</a><br><em>The Book of … Field and Roadside </em>by John Eastman and Amelia Hansen.
