One of the distinguishing characteristics of the season Taraxacum is the blooming of trees. In Amalanchier most blooming takes place before leaves, whereas in Taraxacum trees put out leaves and flowers simultaneously. Apples, which are wild thoughout this area because of its agricultural history, cherries, and other species bloom during this season. Here I am standing in front of a crab apple. Note: when making any kind of apple jellies you do not need pectins to gel the liquids. This tree goes nuts every other year, and every other year I make crab apple jelly. My most famous batch was "Gabe up a Tree," made in 2003.
