My Little Apple Tree

For the longest time I have wanted to have an apple tree in our garden. 

But, we don't have a big garden and not many places to put a big tree. 

We visited our local garden centre today and they had miniature apple, peach and pear trees. 

So I did the next best thing (I hope) and bought a miniature apple tree.  If I am successful with this one I may go back and buy another one. 

There is no stopping me once I get started you know :))

This is it - what do you think?

The blossoms are very pretty too. 

I couldn't resist taking some pictures of  them. 

 It has been a pretty iffy day weather wise and it has been raining (typical Easter weekend weather here I'm afraid).

This is the label that came with the tree - so this is what I can look forward to - lots of lovely red apples!!! 

The label tells me that it grows apples in it's first year - I can't wait!!!

The only trouble is with the lack of space we have I am going to have to grow it in a pot.  

I need to find a pot that is at least 24inches big.  Now that is quite a big pot and I couldn't find one. 

So my job tomorrow is to find a pot.  

I will let you know how I get on :)
