今日の明覚山です。
3月31日のブログで
同じ場所からの雪の
明覚山を紹介しました。

山の色が少～し
ほんの少し薄い緑色に
覆われ始めたのが
わかるでしょうか。
これからどんどん
明るくなります。

ところで
これは何でしょう？

りんごの木の接木を
しているところです。
この時季見かけることが
あります。多分晩生種のふじ
を中生種のシナノゴールド
に更新しているのでしょうね。

A view of Kyokaku-san today.
I introduced the mountain with snow
on this blog on March 31.
A kind of fixed point observation.

Can you see the surface of the mountain
is covered with pale young green. It will
change its colour very rapidly from now on.

By the way, can you tell what it is.
It's an apple tree grafting. You can find
these operation at around this time of
the year.

Probably newer apple SHINANO GOLD may be
grafted to popular Fuji apple. Recently
mid season apples like Shinano Gold, Shinano
Sweet and Akibae are getting popularity.
Because of the higher price they can fetch,
Fuji growers are shifting to these mid season
apples than late season one which is Fuji.
