Mom’s two-fruited tree(s)

It’s probably two trunks that were twisted together a long time ago, but there are two kinds of fruit on this "tree."

Very cool. My wife's uncle used to graft trees and had a couple of different fruits from one tree!

I'm curious as to what two fruits they are!

Can see the red fruit, looks a lot

That's cool.

@janeandcharlie @joannakate Lots of small, red fruit in front. Larger, pale-green fruit on left (upper) and right (lower) sides … as well as on the ground!

LOL! You didn't answer Jane's question and I want to know, too!

@janeandcharlie @marlboromaam Likely crabapple and regular apple (according to my expert); see this photo and the description at upper right http://phytoimages.siu.edu/imgs/paraman1/r/Rosaceae_Malus_sp_124686.html

@rhoing Interesting! My grandfather grafted apple trees and grape vines but nothing like this!
