Two Apple Trees Eighty Years Old Preserve Pioneer Lore
Vernon Michigan reports two apple trees on the Shiawassee river bank, planted when the area was an Indian reservation. The mammoth trees, six and eight feet in circumference, bear fruit yearly and sit near the site of early white settlements and trading posts along the old trails. Nearby, villagers recount a vanished bank and buried money myth tied to wildcat currency of frontier days.
