Congrats! I got my first this year too, it was such a magical experience🫂 

 I can taste it from here lol..👏👍😊 

 Nice! I planted a Navel orange tree last year.  I thought it might bloom this year. Nope! lol I also got a Mango tree that's in a pot. It started to bloom but grew branches at the same time. I had to prune it. May next year. Congrats on your apple! :)

 You familiar with pruning? 

 Ok… so love it. Congrats. Now you need to spray the shit out of them from here to August/September. It’s gonna get pummeled by bugs, fungus and other spotty fun. 

I’m of the mind to just make cider every year because my apples do not look pretty, but once you get over the fuggly skin, they (for the most part) are crisp, juicy and delicious on the inside. But me and the fam cannot eat all of them raw at the end of the year. 

Thus my new goal is to get a cider press. 🍏🍎
