Apple Tree Queston

Hey ya'll, this might sound silly. But we have an apple tree in our garden and wondered wether the Apples are ok to eat? My mom seems to think its best not to eat them, the tree has been here since we moved in about 2 years ago.

Thanks

 

i pick straight from my tree. somtimes i wash them somtimes i just wipe them and have a munch.

im sure there isnt an apple that is going to harm you

thing is wot , are the apple's like. taste can tell you allot with wot to do with them

dry and sharp . they could be crab apples , good for jam..
full flavour and sweet not to dry , good for cyder also nice to eat


there is so many varietys of apples . wot you gotta decide is wot to do with them

 

I've never heard of a poisonous apple! The eating varieties should all be fairly sweet to eat (won't pucker your cheeks unless unripe), but the cookers will definitely be best in a crumble!

I too just pick our apples and eat them - they're not ready til really late, are ENORMOUS, deep red skinned and better than any apple I've ever eaten from a shop!

Do you have pictures of them?

Give then a go when they're ready!

 

I will get some pics of the Tree tomorrow, just got to find the software disc for my cell phone.

But, there is no apples on the Tree yet, its just started to get some flower heads on the tips

 

Definitely OK to eat. If desert apples just eat them. If cookers, then make a pie or crumble or sauce with them. Certainly no problems

 

No BP. The apples come in autumn.

 

Isnt there 2 different types though, baking and normal?

 

if they taste sour cook with them, if they taste sweet eat them. No apples are poisonous.

 

and some are multi-purpose!

 

Yes Celia My favourite eating apple is Granny Smith but I also cook with it. It stays firm longer but a tarte tartin made with a Granny is like apple heaven.

 

BP, as has been said, there are no poisonous apples, but if you can describe them, someone on here may be able to tell you if they are dessert or cooking apples.

 

I read that there was a poisonous apple that the bad witch made and it made Snow White fall into a deep sleep
Do you think that story was untrue?

 

haha.

I didnt think the apples were poisonous. I just didnt know wether they were cooking apples or just normal apples. If you get what i meen :D

 

It was the evil witch wot cast a spell on the apple, luckly a handsome prince was close by to perform a Heimlich manoeuver and so save the beautiful princess.

 

Do you think the handsome prince was a folk singing Ulsterman. Or was that guy too busy trying to get his tongue out of his cheek?:D
