The Apple Early History in England and New England
The apple likely reached England with the Romans and spread to about twenty varieties in early cultivation near Rome. Henry VIII promoted orchards in Kent, and early New England settlers carried apples abroad where an island in Boston Harbor bears their name. The fruit quickly adapted and became a hardy emblem of New England as Indians adopted and maintained orchards in eastern states.
