  • A detailed of an unknown species of red apples ripening on trees in an English garden orchard. The fruits are a healthy red and are bathed in sunshine as they deepen their flavours before falling to the ground if not picked soon. The apple tree is one of the most widely cultivated of fruit trees. They are deciduous (they shed their leaves in the autumn) and are small reaching just 5-12 m tall. They normally flower in spring, producing white flowers, sometimes with a pink tinge. The fruit matures in mid-late autumn, and can be eaten raw, used in cooking, juiced or made into cider. It is a quintessential scene from an English orchard that are disappearing at alarming rates due to re-landscaping and shrinking habitats. English apples are predicted to become the next victim of the honeybee crisis, threatening over £165m of agricultural production in the UK.
