Apple Orchard Visit

Mr. Allen gave us(a few home - education families) a tour of his apple orchard over in Westminster, Vt. We learn about the history of different apples, grafting, and the care of the trees and orchard. We learned about the financial end of the orchards...It seems that if you do not already own the orchard, many years would be needed to cover your original investment. Mr.Allen demonstrated the way they graft a branch into another branch. One perticular tree had 5 types of apples grafted into it.

I asked Mr. Allen about when did people begin grafting....his reply..."well they were grafting in the Bible times. Jesus talked about being grafted into the vine!"
