Baldwin apple history and name changes tracking origins
The Baldwin apple originated as a chance seedling on John Ball Wilmington’s farm near Lowell Massachusetts after 1740. It was then called Woodpecker or Butters and later promoted by Colonel Baldwin to eastern Massachusetts as early as 1784, with a monument marking the original tree. Insects and birds are noted for their feeding behavior, including a Arkansas nighthawk stomach study reporting six hundred insects.
