Apple Tree

History
5
Apple butter, apple cider, applesauce, and apple pie were among the homegrown products that made apples especially useful to mountain farmers. Families often took cuttings from favorite trees with them when they moved or when children left home. Today old apple trees often mark the site of a beloved but abandoned mountain homestead.
