My kids and I are going through the woods and reviving old trees

Folks like Tom Brown are a gift to society. But if you want to help; plant and grow an old heritage Apple variety. Even apartment dwellers can get potted dwarf trees of heritage varieties if you ask around. You can also find the tree that suits you. Produces apples over many weeks. Or makes a ton of apples at once. Sweet. Super Sweet. Sweet and sour. Huge. Juicy, dry, great cookers. Jacks of many abilities. Apples that store 6-7 months even. There is an apple for every taste.

The world needs more loving caring souls like this dear man.....bless you

I wonder if he saved Ladysmith apples.

I am a cocoa farmer in Trinidad. In the past few years the frosty pod disease is wiping out orchards in the Caribbean and S America. We were able to find one old Trinidad variety they called ICS95 which was resistant to frosty pod. It was not being propagated or commercially grown until 2 years ago. It’s sad that the US apple industry has not maintained the incredible genetic diversity it once had. Every plant has value!! Not maintaining this diversity can lead to painful lessons.

This is an incredibly important undertaking. It’s so good in this age of uniformity to preserve these old and diverse apple trees.

Johnny Appleseed in real life

Lisa, this is Robert McCuistion in Crossville. Did you make Heirloom apple videos a number of years ago? I'm trying to find someone that knows about Fort Prize apples.

This is my father! Go dad go dad!

He deserves funding not Zelensky

What a wonderful short video! Does anyone know the tune that is played?

Rt308 in Boyers Pa going towards Butler Pa. Has a ton of old wild apple trees growing. So if you're in the area take a look.

I love Mary Ann there should be more TV shows with a Mary Ann character l never get tired of Mary Ann

0 thumbs down

You know the seeds from one kind of apple won’t grow the same type of apple tree. Apple trees have to be grafted from an already existing tree to ensure the type of apple

Lisa, you are A very talented and personable lady!

there sure are lots of different kinds

How can we reach Tom Brown? We have discovered an old heirloom orchard up on Lake Ontario, with what appears to be scores of different varieties, around 100 years old or older, overgrown and unattended, but clearly structured as an orchard back in the day.

Where are you and, are you still doing this? I want to try some of your apples. Here in Spokane I have started Rambour Franc (1535) Edelborsdorfer (1175) Bardsey (1998, 'though the tree dates about 1873), Claygate Pearmain (1832) and others.

Where are the FANS!!!!????????? I just Sooooooooo Love Mary Ann!!!!

This man should have a grant and be able to preserve all the apple varieties left in the world. These strains are part of human history and it's a shame modern agriculture has lost so much of its past.

you disappeared, preservation

Its the bee lady!

Interesting About those gardens

Nice story

Go Lisa

Lisa you are so smart and good at reporting

Love videos

Good Job Lisa

Lisa is very awesome at her job I know her a great friend please hit like buttons

I've watched this tens of times. I'm a young apple hunter, myself. Thanks for making something so enjoyable to watch.

Sanje Elliott taught a class that I took at Naropa Institute in 1990, a wonderful experience I am very grateful to have had. Thanks Sanje and Lisa.

I just had Ashmead's Kernal. It was amazing!!!!!!

Pretty cool story. A shame how many different types of apples have been lost forever. Thanks for posting

Wealthy is my favorite apple. Not the biggest apple, but I think it still can hold it's own with the current cultivars.

Hi New Englander/shadowkitty, Thanks so much for the tip. I will pass it on to my "apple people" here in the SW Washington area. If you have any other apple story ideas let me know. I will probably be doing a follow up soon. Cheers, Lisa

Pssst: Try planting Newtown Pippin, Roxbury Russet, and Spitzenberg: they are some of my favorites and they make good juice, plus I imagine they are less common there than they are on this coast! -Sincerely Yours, A New Englander
