Apple tree with the best cold-resistant fruit

This is astonishing, a difficult question to answer to local people when they witness an apple tree fruit in January of the coldest decade of the decade. The magic of creation or a case of gene mutation?

Emma Cox is picking an apple on a fruitful wild apple tree that has surprised the locals.

Last winter has been considered the harshest winter in 10 years, but a wild apple tree is still full of berries. This has made local people extremely surprised and excited.

While the normal apple tree only produces fruits from May to October, most of the fruit will fall to the ground in the winter or be 'destroyed' by the cold and frost.

Ben Pike, 52, an engineer at Orchard Link, thinks that this is the best cold apple tree he has ever known.

A crop survives the harsh winter.

He said that he could not explain why apple trees could survive at such freezing temperatures. Apples are harvested many times, as early as August, some plants are harvested in late October or early November. In case the weather is still mild, some trees can be left to Christmas. . But giving fruits in January is amazing.

Agricultural engineer Jane Schofield, 52, described the apple tree as a miracle, unusual for seeing apples on the tree in January of the year. This evokes curiosity and surprise because the apple tree has not been knocked down in such a cold weather.

Wild apple trees show hundreds of apples.

People here say it is fun to not enjoy such special apples if it is not frozen like ice. Meanwhile Chris Patt, 57, a local orchard owner, thinks this is a supernatural crop. The apple tree must be genetically mutated or well stimulated, causing its fruit to not fall off.

Chris Patt said that the natural mechanism in the tree causes the apples to fall off as hormones. Under normal conditions, the cell layer where the stem is attached to the branch will receive a signal when the apple is ripe and ready to fall. After these signals, the cells will shrink and the apple will fall. So Chris assumed that the apples of this particular apple tree did not send the signals correctly.
