I am from western Pa. originally. I saw many old, very large apple
trees there. I saw newspaper articles about how the settlers grew
apple trees from seeds. Settlers would carry apple seeds and plant
them when they built cabins. The old apple trees rarely had more
than a few apples. Read the apple seeds came from England.
