Michigan Fruit Pictures

Mark Longstroth

I first started this website as a way to post information to interested people and reduce the number of times I had to explain something on the phone.  It also allowed me to reach people who had questions to ask about fruit but did not even know I existed as a resource.   Believing that a picture is worth a thousand words, I tried to include pictures with the articles I posted.  My original camera took pictures at 800x600 pixels and we all worked with dialup lines where even small pictures took time to download.  As time went on I got access to faster internet connections and better cameras.  I posted more and larger pictures.  I would keep reminding myself that not everyone had fast internet connections so I tried to keep the pictures small in size to increase the download speed on slow connections.  I developed the trick of posting a small picture and linking it to a large detailed picture. I have collected many of the pictures I have here on this page.  These small pictures are all linked to a larger image.

Apples have their own Apple Pictures Page

Blueberries have their own Blueberry Pictures page

Cherries have their own Cherry Pictures Page

Peaches have their own Peach Pictures Page

Strawberries have their own Strawberry Picture Page

I also have picture intensive pages on fire blight, frost and freeze injury, herbicide injury , fruit insects, etc.

The pictures below are grouped by crop; Apricot, Pear, Plum, Brambles and Grapes as well as miscellaneous pictures I am proud of. 

Also see the Fruit AoE growth stages page.
