The photo above shows the pomes (fruits) of a crabapple as seen on Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge lands at the east end of Kreps Lane........September 22, 2007. The pomes are each about 6-7 cm across. There are several crabapple trees at this location, but they are surrounded by large ponderosa pines, so they may be fairly old in age.
