Over at Golden Harvest Farms' orchard in Valatie, NY, the dwarf apple trees are now very heavy with fruit. We have a number of photos of these same trees -- spanning their cycle from February into late April in full flower up to now at the harvest -- and it makes for an interesting comparison. Experience their growth with us, and read more about the Farm at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Return to orchard -- harvest
The former forces
that delved your smooth
protuberances up rooting
toward the blue beyond
now abandon them to their red
globed fates -- they wait
pendantly footed and
what once was an upward-arcing,
skyward-stretching sketch is now
a fledged-out canopy,
realmed in earth and driven down
to compose a heavier,
deeper perfume,
looming low
and no less fragrant.
