The Timber Wolves Were Howling

[twilightpony]

I went over to the bowl left in the ground where the Golden Oak Library had stood. On my way there three different ponies stopped me to tell me that the timber wolves had been howling in the wee hours of the morning. Zap Apple season has arrived.

The bowl was perfect for a growth spell. The ground is still dug up and there wasn't anything there that further upheaval would damage. I flew off to Sweet Apple Acres to see the trees.

Applejack and Big Macintosh had started to set up baskets for the harvest that was due in four days from now. Tomorrow they expect an early morning electrical storm to blow in from the Everfree. That will cause the zap apple trees to sprout leaves, at which point the Apples will start watering the zap apple trees.

Cool! Soon delicious zap apples will be upon you!

Are these thoughts connected? Can you plant a zap apple tree the morning after the timber wolves have started howling? Can you plant a zap apple tree in the middle of town?

And zap apple jam too!

No, no connection to the Zap Apple growth or harvest. The filly project is to grow an oak tree and the holes that I had excavated were to plant regular apple trees. I don't think Applejack is going to plant more Zap Apple trees, they're limited as to how many they can tend to at once and how many Zap Apples they can pick in one day.

I think it would be a bad idea to plant zap apple trees in town. I believe they attract timber wolves. They also draw in weather from the Everfree forest. We are quite leery of the Everfree forest and of clouds that move on their own accord.

Yeah!
