39-Cent Apple Tree in Idalou Produces Big Washington Red Delicious
Les Derrick and family in Idalou report a remarkable apple crop from a single Washington Red Delicious tree bought for 39 cents in 1954. The tree bears unusually large fruit weighing up to a pound and 13 inches around, with no extra spraying this season. The Derricks credit plentiful moisture and irrigation, though they sprayed for bagworms twice. Derrick, a Lubbock County commissioner, and his wife moved to the home in 1954 and added the apple tree after purchasing other fruit trees in early 1955.
