Sinistar Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Asking this for a friend. His mate has told him that there used to be an apple tree growing at the back of the terracing at the Glasgow end of Firhill. Says he was brought up in a tenement at that end where Rough had a pub. He maintains he could look into the park apart from the tree. Is this true or a wind up? Before my time so I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus 57 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 There was a tree but I don't know for sure it was an apple tree. To get to the shed you could walk along the front of the terracing or walk round the back of it. There was a grass bank between the pathway and the back of the terracing and the tree was in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have been told that they were crab apples and not a cultivated variety. I never tried to eat one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
