A Walk Along Piney Creek

Took Bliss for a walk in the Piney Creek Bottom yesterday, but no woodcock were found.





 An old apple tree with several trunks growing on an old bank barn foundation.  The multiple trunks are a sure sign that's it's a seedling apple tree.  One fall several years ago I picked several small red apples from it. Surprising they had a good flavor.  I returned in late winter and found a single piece of new growth wood that I could use to graft with. I now have a 2 year old 6 foot tall clone of this old tree that I call the Piney Creek Mammoth growing in my orchard.
