6. The Apple Tree in Winter In the winter the apple tree branches are bare. Sometimes the trees are decorated with strings of berries and popcorn for the birds to eat.

7. The Apple Tree in Spring In the spring buds on the trees swell. Soon they break into leaves and blossoms. Spring showers and warm sunshine help white or pink flowers to bloom.

8. The Apple Tree in Summer With warm rain and bright sunshine small green apples begin to appear. During the summer many people enjoy the sheltering boughs of the apple tree.

9. The Apple Tree in Autumn In the autumn the apple trees have big, red, tasty apples. The green leaves have turned golden. They drift to the ground.
