Nearly 30 years ago I lived in a little village in
England, and when they announced a tree planting campaign, I suggested they
plant some fruit trees. They said no, that the budget was only for
ornamentals, nothing useful. I like the idea that someone else is
thinking of useful trees. I used to pick up apples in an abandoned
orchard, nobody else ever seemed to use the fruit.
I collected windfall fruit for
many years in Tennessee, till people started chopping down the old
trees. There are far fewer fruit trees in
Cookeville than there were 15 years ago. Donna
