What the.... ?


Anybody know what this thing is? Seen on a tree in Huntington, WV. Is it an apple that somebody drew geometric patterns on??

  2. I would've guessed it to be some sort of crabapple... but I've never seen those sort of designs and bumps before.. maybe it's got a disease?

  3. A Michigander might call it a petoskey apple.

    Even though there's no such thing.

  5. Money may not grow on trees, but red soccer balls do.

    I think this might be it; maybe the one in your picture isn't fully developed yet?

  9. They won't last until Christmas, unless you dry them, I suppose. But if you have any deer nearby, they think it's a tasty snack.

  11. Well.. finally we know! Thanks people. Jack can now tell the owner of the tree what they have. My mother's 2 regular dogwoods are both gone due to the blight.
