This is a Hemiepiphyte plant, somewhat similar to Strangler Fig.
Pitch Apple, not a real Apple, is a Caribbean native that has become a great threat to Sri Lanka, Hawaii, and many other countries because of its invasive nature.
However, here in Florida, Pitch Apple trees can be found as ornamental trees in private gardens although the fleshy fruits are poisonous.

an early cooker that cooks to a pulp - ready to start using by end of August.
i planted this tree on MM106 rootstock as a maiden whip in February 2004. A decent big tree now, it didnt crop well last year but mostly does crop well. Certainly looking fairly good for this year.
It is a very old apple variety, thought to date to the 1790s and as the name implies it is from the English Lake District.
Possibly 3 minutes in the microwave was slightly too long?
Not a standard apple variety either. This is one that I got from the apple festival a while back. I can't remember the variety, just that it was a cooking apple.
I can report that even when cooked into 'apple splat' as my wife christened it, the apple was delicious. No spices added, just apple.
155 of 365: typically my afternoon snack. Although I would prefer something more sinful say like a cupcake.

Today, I went to Apple store Shinsaibashi shop to repair the AC adapter for my 12inch PB, that broke at the last business trip.

leftover shavings in electric juicer; apple and carrot

Parker has a few pieces whose titles starts with: "Negatives of . . . ", and in those pieces she explored the 'killed off' matter in the production of an object. About Negatives of Sound, she had explained the question she set herself as such:
... the idea of all sound produced, and to achieve it what do you have to get rid of?
She ended up with a small pile of black lacquer, remains from cutting grooves in records. It was, literally, a pile of negatives of sound.
This piece explores something along similar ground. In this small jam jar is two slices of an apple and two slices of a carrot, without the juice. It was collected from an electric juicer, after apples and carrots had gone through it. Instead of focusing on the fact that it has been cast off, which would make the title Negative of Juice, this piece focuses on the fact that it has remained its original state. Thus: Apple and Carrot. An initial reaction would be a marginalizing “that doesn’t even look like an apple or a carrot”, but it does not change the fact that it still is an apple and a carrot. This concept of a physical transformation not affecting a core identity is given great attention by Parker. And the beauty of her manifestation of this concept is that she does it through small, quotidian things—a record, old and abandoned silver ornaments; I did it through some fruit and vegetable—that act like an empty can, allowing the concept to be magnified (i.e. sound is to impact) once put in.
We are in a world of incredibly fast-paced change. Greek-American computer scientist and architect Nicholas Negroponte calls it digitality, the apparently ‘second’ post-modern age: an age marked by the rapidly continually increasing power of technology and communication. This pervading power makes it is easy for people to forget roots, beginnings, and the past. It is easy to dismiss, or even give complete disregard to, the process of a finished product. Because of word-processing programs and electronic mail, for example, it no longer matters how we write a letter – there is no need to worry about pen and paper and legible handwriting, a decent envelope and the right amount of stamps. Because of advanced machinery, it no longer matters to production plant how long it would take for 100 people to craft and assemble 50,000 analogue clocks. This generation geared towards convenience is forgetting the value in the process.
Parker beyond being an artist, therefore, is arguably a nostalgic. It shows in her work that her heart lingers in a time when the process was magnified; when effort in the process had the potential to bring even greater value to the end product. This is a time that has passed, passed like the one who had made the juice and left the remains of the fruit and vegetable (despite still being completely edible) for me to find and collect.
In the creation of anything, something must be destroyed; something must be left behind. What people have a choice in is the forgetting one thing to make space for the thought of something new. Parker’s work, and this response, chooses not to forget.

part of my A Level art contextual study. in response to cornelia parker, who deals with the killed-off, the thrown away, the negatives.
We took the long way in to Port Elgin from the county road. Some trees in this orchard were still laden with apples. (Most rows were empty.) No idea why. It was oddly beautiful.
Driving through Pennsylvania, I noticed this Apple orchard. Rolling hills full of them. I had to pull over and get this shot.
In baking and pastry making, the term streusel (a German word meaning "something scattered or sprinkled", from the verb streuen, akin to the English verb 'strew') refers to a crumb topping of butter, flour, and sugar (traditional German) that is baked on top of muffins, breads, and cakes (e.g. Streuselkuchen). Some modern recipes add various spices and occasionally chopped nutmeats. Although the topping is of German origin, it is sometimes referred to as Danish or Swedish.
The term is also sometimes used for rich pastries topped with, or mixed with, streusel.
