VERY OLD APPLE TREE

It has been awhile since I added anything in my journals.
I was thinking about this old apple tree today, and also thought how it would look using Generals Sketch & Wash pencil.
I also used a touch of watercolor and ballpoint pen.

I realize SPRAY was available in those days for fruit and vegetables...we just didn't use it on our food.
I remember having to soak Broccoli & cauliflower in salt water to get the bugs out before cooking..
After I moved to the city...San Francisco, I was amazed that there were no bugs in the veges...:)

I grew up in the suburbs so had mostly grocery store veggies but my dad had some fruit trees and boy, is home grown fruit the best! Birds and ants were the biggest problem.

Your apple tree looks wonderful! Very stout and aged looking.
