I can still remember the taste. Here where I live now, the neighbors have crabapple trees and those just drop to the ground. But some quantity stays on the trees and are freeze dried over winter. In the spring, an American robin will stake out the tree as its own and defend it against all other birds and squirrels. By then the fleshy part is all gone and only the seed is left hanging on the tree. Just large enough or small enough for the bird to swallow.<BR/><BR/>Amazing fruit. Nice photo. Interesting post.
