Nobody Believed Apples Could Survive Under 3 Meters of Snow — Until This Happened

An apple orchard in Aomori, Japan, buried under deep winter snow. Watch the whole year: digging out the trees and pruning in the snow, pink blossoms and hand pollination, a paper bag for every single apple, silver sheets and turning each apple to the sun, burying the harvest under the snow, digging out ice-cold sweet apples in mid-winter, the packing house, the supermarket and warm apple pie on a snowy evening. Aomori farmers really bag their apples and store them under the snow. This film is an AI-generated visual story inspired by those traditions. 0:00 An orchard buried in snow 1:32 Pruning in the deep winter 2:54 Blossoms and hand pollination 4:20 A paper bag for every apple 5:37 Silver sheets and turning each apple 7:14 Apples buried under the snow 9:57 From the packing house to the store 12:35 Apple pie on a snowy evening
