What to do with all them Apples? Apple Harvest in Sweden
The number two most popular fruit worldwide, at least according to this article.
No wonder then that in Sweden it seems like the average family has at least 10 apple trees.
Totally made up number, but you get the point. An average apple tree produces between 200 and
1500 apples a season. That's on average 68 kg or about 150 pounds for all of you Americans.
The same weight of a grey wolf or a sloth bear. 1500 apples or 1500 days without the need to
see a doctor. Which is not exactly ideal for Big Pharma, but that's a different topic.
Now, in a bit of a design flaw from nature, they are all ripe roughly at the same time
and not nicely spaced out over the year. So at some point you just have to deal with a
lot of apples at the same time. Which begs the question, what to do with all them apples?
