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.
