In the middle of Norwich there’s this apple tree. It’s not in park, or a garden but sat in the middle of a building site just opposite John Lewis. All summer long the juicy red apples would catch my eye as I walked past. Sadly they were never picked and made into a pie but instead they fell to the concrete floor.
I really liked the fresh apples against the brick wall and fencing. I snapped a few photos before I left the city, nothing fancy but it’s something I wanted to document on here.
I wonder what they’ll do when they decide to build there, will the tree stay or will that be the end of its urban life?
Have you spotted anything interesting in your town lately?
that is odd isn’t it. shame they weren’t used. not noticed anything as funny as this no, will keep ’em peeled.

That’s crazy that no one picked them! I would love to have an apple tree… my husband and I LOVE apples so having one in the backyard would be perfect 😀

Wow! How bizarre! Not only a weird location for an apple tree to grown, but the branches are barren. It looks as if someone found a dead tree and decided to hang apples on it. Really cool pictures though. x
Oh how sad that they went to waste falling on the floor! We used to have an apple tree in the garden, but only actually used the apples now & then and never really appreciated, so it was cut down to make way for a shed – I miss it now it’s not there!
I love things like this. Nature making its mark. A brave little tree determined to grow and live on. Like it’s saying EFF YOU URBAN PLANNING! I have a right to live here too! Thank you for telling us its story xx
So pretty – I love your pics! We have a plum tree in the garden but the branches overhang the house behind us – so they get most of the benefits! 🙂 x
