Thread Name: BS: Apples on the Trackside
Subject: RE: BS: Apples on the Trackside
This thread reminded me that there is a historical tree organization here in the USA that sells seedling that have been grown either from seeds or from cuttings of famous trees. You can get an apple tree that is the offspring of some of the Johnny Appleseed Apple Orchard trees as well as seedlings grown from cuttings of famous trees from Civil War battlefields, from Presidential homesteads or from trees associated with other historical persons.
The trees run about $30 each and make for unusual wedding presents or gifts to people who have just had a child or purchased a new home. We sent a Gettysburg battlefield tree to some friends of ours once and they loved it.
