Subject: Re: [NAFEX] FW: a real johnny appleseed tree


As I remember, American Forests magazine had young trees that were being 
sold from an original Johnny Appleseed tree.  I want to say it was in 
Ohio, and I do remember the picture showed it had chain wrapped all 
around the trunk keeping it together.  That's about all I can remember 
though.
