Thread Name: BS: Apples on the Trackside
Subject: RE: BS: Apples on the Trackside
>>Johnny Appleseed was born John Chapman and was a very industrious man, planting millions of apple trees during his lifetime. His work was important to the new settlers moving West after the American Revolution - apples were a vital staple to many families. The last known living apple tree planted by Johnny still grows on an old farm in Nova, Ohio . The farm dates back to an original Land Grant signed by John Quincy Adams in 1837. We take soft bud cuttings from the tree, graft them to apple root stock and offer you the opportunity to sink your teeth into a piece of American history! <<
