In the shade of an oak tree, workers pack apples into wooden cases at Ngatimoti in the lower Motueka River valley, Nelson province with a picket in the orchard behind. 1890s. From this time apple growing increased in scale, and by 1918 rivalled sheep exports with refrigeration ships. #apples #NewZealand #exports
A good reminder from a cider friend in Old Blighty. Bumblebees nest in small dry places. Usually under hedges but anywhere can work, all they need is a dry protected cavity. Their nests only contain a few hundred bees so are small. Even smaller is the nest the Queen makes to overwinter. Look out for them they do a lot of the heavy lifting of pollinating. #bumblebees #Orchard #cider #apples #blossom #pollination
Who will pick the apples now she’s gone?

Gravenstein scion wood from 2024 that's been in the refrigerator. I saw a forum post mentioning they had some old scion wood that was callused up so I went and looked at mine and some of it was callused up so I stuck it in some water and put a bag over it the other day. It was already leafed out and I didn't expect those to turn green but they did. Wait and see if the callus grows roots.
First frost of the autumn air temperature at4 am 3degrees. . Great to feel the apple trees being reset. Bodes well for a good Spring blossom. Glorious day after the sun came up. Big clear skies. #wairarapa #orchard #apples #cider #Tararuaranges #frost

To get the bees ( bumblebee and native solitary ones) excited in Spring we have planted crabapple trees that blossom a little earlier that the cider apple trees. The crab apples hang on later in the autumn and look beautiful in the sun.#apples #crabapples #cider #orchard #bees
The Comice pear, the oldest Gravenstein apple, an early blooming peach grown from seed, and the Harcot Apricot. I saw quite a few apricots blooming when I was out and about today. The Japanese type plum here is a couple of warm days away from starting to bloom and it doesn't look like it's died much more. It's more than 50 years old.
Keep the apple goodness on hand for all your favorite treats by freezing them!

“I want to astonish Paris with an apple,” announced Paul Cézanne from Aix-en-Provence who, over the course of his life, painted more than 270 still lifes of apples and occasionally other fruits like pears, just like Monet painted flowers. When young he was friends with Emile Zola, who was bullied at school. Cezanne sorted them. Zola gave him a basket of apples. Cezanne always kept the basket in his studio. #art #painting #apples
