Apple Fun Facts:
Did you know the crabapple is the only apple native to North America, and that the pilgrims planted the first United States apple trees in the Massachusetts Bay Colony? An interesting fact is that Johnny Appleseed (September 26, 1774 – March 18, 1845), born John Chapman, was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois and that today there are now over 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States? Come have fun,

Have a great week. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteHave you read "The Botany of Desire"? The section on apples and Johnny Appleseed was fascinating. A great read on the symbiotic relationship between plants and humans.
