Malus domestica (pumila)

Native to Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Pakistan, Qinghai, and Tadzhikistan and nearby regions, this is a tree in the Rosaceae family. The apple tree has become one of the most cultivated fruit-bearing trees globally. Its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, still finds its home in Central Asia. China holds the title of the world’s largest apple producer​. The bowl of small apples are called Manzana criolla. Colombia imports over 90% of consumed apples, most from Chile. Colombia only grows a few varieties between 6,500 and 10,000 feet. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
