The common name for this plant is an apple tree. The apple tree is on a perennial life cycle meaning it goes on forever. The apple tree is not an original plant species to North America, but the apple tree can be traced back to mountainous regions of Central Asia. The United States is the second leading apple producer in the world.

This apple tree was found growing in my back yard and is doing very well.

In the United States more than 60% of apples sold are grown in Washington .
