All About Trees

We are learning about making close observations and recording our findings over time. Different trees have different attributes. What attributes are the same? different? How can you identify what type of tree you may be looking at? Bark, leaves, cones, nuts, and fruits are all great clues! We will explore apple trees more closely, and the wide variety of apple trees that grow in our area. We will be learning about the life cycle of apple trees, and even visit a working orchard on OCTOBER 2ND when we visit COLD SPRING ORCHARD.  Here are some early pictures of our observations, next we will be adding color!
