---->A very large picture of my sliced apple scanned<----Took a fully ripe apple from my backyard this morning after thinking over a conversation I had with a friend before. So this is the apple cut in half and scanned. Oh and the white thing? A seed slightly chipped from me cutting the apple in half. I wasn't actually curious about what kind of apple it may be until I saw the seed.
I only see a very different seed color from the apples at the supermarket^^; Though for some reason holding the seed in my hand and looking at it it doesn't look chipped at all.. Though anyway if anyone could give me a better answer then green it would be appreciated as green isn't a valid answer.
Ah, and the apples are tiny and all green when the first grow but gain red marks as they are growing. The red marks lesson when they fully mature. The apple trees blossoms are white~ It gains buds around the end of winter or beginning of spring and it blossoms ether around late spring or the beginning of summer. In the middle of summer it starts growing apples.
The apple has deep red streaks while growing. When it is an adult the red colors are faint and around top and bottom areas of the apple. When the apple is spoiled it changed to a yellow and the red streaks deepen again. The apple is not completely green. The scanned apple is in fact ripe.
Around this time of the year the apples are usually falling off the tree and very ripe though there are still some not yet fully grown. But basically the tree offers us ripe apples during a pretty long span in summer. It seems different apples grow at different rates on the tree, likely because there are so many. The apples have a very bitter and harsh flavor until they are ripe. When they are ripe though they have a crisp bitter sweet taste.
Here in California it is late summer. The apple tree is still ripe and full with apples. The flavor is very bitter and harsh when not ripe. When they are ripe they have a crisp bitter sweet taste. The taste and appearance makes it very simple to be able to tell which ones are ripe. This one was ripe and tasted very good to eat.
This apple as you can tell only had one seed inside- the white seed scanned along with the sliced apple. Actually there where fuzzes on the top and bottom part of the apple.. but I did want to eat the apple so had cut those off before even thinking I might scan the apple cus I wanted to be sure no bug was there~! Well and obviously also cut off the apple stem too>>;
The apple did have skin fuzzy things on top of it but I cut them off before scanning. Why? I wanted to eat it. I wanted to be sure it had no bugs in it.
Looking through a list a friend showed me I started figuring out the trees appearance is also important. The trees branches and trunk and generally thick and strong. It's not really a tall tree though it is VERY old. The wood, or at least the bark as an ashy light color(though its not white, just ashy pale colored). The leafs are slightly waxy, green, kind of tear shaped, semi large, and they bend downwards slightly in shape.
The tree itself both the branches and trunk are thick. The tree is colored a light ashen color. That means a gray-ish color. So the tree is not white, but it is still a light ashen color. The tree is not very big. It is not a big tree, but it is
not a miniature.
The tree has been here for the 23 years I've lived at this house. It was actually
so old 23 years ago that the person selling the house thought the apple tree was going to fall over and die. This house was built in the 60's. So it is safe to assume this tree was ether planted in the 60s or earlier as this is a farm town.
The leafs are a slightly waxy color, green colored, kind of tear shaped, semi large, and they bend downwards slightly in shape.
If anyone has any suggestions for other scans that would help figure out what kind of tree it is I am willing to do so as long as it's not harmful to the tree.
