Information:

Early April apple trees burst forth with 1 inch flowers that resemble pinkish white fluffy cotton candy. Once pollinated the flowers quickly drop and apples start to develop. They’ll grow all summer and mature in late September, early October. The apple trees in the edible garden include: ‘Gala’, ‘Liberty’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Arkansas Black’ and ‘Mollie’s Delicious’.
