I promised to give you an update on our Snowdrift Weeping Crabapple crop and here it is. When you last saw these Crabapples on September 16, 2009, they were red with a little green.

If you remember I talked about the apples needing to be frozen a few times for the birds to eat them with any regularity. Now they are stopping by to eat a few.

A few days ago I observed a flock of Starlings munching along the line of Crabapple trees along the Northeast side of Helen Flatt Drive on Lindsey Hill.

Thankfully they haven't found this tree yet. -Billy Joe Fudge

One place to see them is on Helen Flatt DR on the campus of Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, KY."
