Old Apple Trees Yield Large Crops Despite Regional Failure
A Middletown New York Times correspondent reports two ancient apple trees in Orange and Sullivan counties defy poor regional yields. The Jo Goo apple tree near Wawayanda and a Neversink River tree in Fallsburg bear large crops annually, with distinct fruit varieties. The Fallsburg tree is noted for its enormous size, with trunks and limbs described in detail, and has historically yielded up to forty bushels of apples. The Jo Goo tree’s fruit is praised for a wild, delicious flavor and has been grafted into many orchards.
