Identifying Trees

In April I took a bunch of blossom photos as it was the season when fruit trees started to blossom. Taking photos and posting them here was the easy part of the job. Trying to identify them made me realize how little (or nothing at all) I know about them.

That is why I decided to follow their evolution and learn more about them.

The other day I was in the neighborhood and though I'd go to check the fruits.

I thought this was black cherry but it turns out it's not.

It looks like an apple tree to me, although not the regular one. These fruits will be dark for sure. This means I have to go back next month and check again to be sure.

It's funny how we can get used to something as part of the scene and not know what it is, right? Good thing there's Steem and blogging, at least I know how much I don't know and what I have to learn.

There was a time when people were foraging and their food was what they could get from the forest, hunting or fishing. If we were left on a deserted island with nothing, I wonder how many of us would know what to do in order to survive.
