A coating of snow was followed by a coating of ice and windy conditions proved to be too much for this old volunteer apple tree located above the house. A seedling of the old orchard that I can remember as a kid this tree produced "deer apples" small russeted apples that dropped in early fall. I suspect it will live on for a few years as it still has roots in the ground and these old apple trees are survivors. I'll probably take a piece of scion and graft a new tree and plant it nearby for the deer to continue to enjoy.
