Here's my first ever apple blossoms. If the fruit is as tasty as the bloom is pretty... I'll be jumpin' up & down!

Apple Blossoms  ooooooh!! They smell so good. We won't have apple blossoms till May. They look so pretty too. The bees will make sure you have great apples.

OO lovely. We won't be seeing apple blossom for a few months but seeing yours cheers me up no end. I hope you have a heavy crop from your tree. You must show us pics of the fruits when they're ripe.

I won't see blooms on my apples until mid May either! I'm glad someone has blooms!

Since I just planted this tree, there won't be any fruit to eat this year. I was told to make sure to pluck off any signs of fruit the first year so the tree will put all of it's energy into it's root system. But I may be tempted to let "just one" ripen?

Those blooms are beautiful. I would be tempted to let just one ripen too.
