Sometimes. There is a neighborhood here called 'Orchard Homes' and there 
were orchards down the valley. The whole dream fizzled out both because of 
the climate and collusion by the railroads to keep them off the market. 
What's left is mostly McIntosh and are scrubby looking. The cultivar 
always was tart. They show up in the stores in large boxes in season but 
most of the output goes to cider.

In town people who have a tree are supposed to harvest them to prevent 
attracting bears. The bears are fond of them.
