For over three years, Lynch Creek
has been preserving local Heritage Apple
Trees - 100+ year old, surviving trees from farm properties - by taking
cuttings and grafting new trees - essentially, cloning a copy with new,
healthy
root stock.
We have already grafted such
varieties as:
Alvin's Homestead, Alvin's Pond,
Don's Best Winesap and Frieda's Homestead Crab -
named in honor of the
property owners: Alvin Faulkner, Don Irvin and Frieda Edgerton. They now
proudly have healthy new Apple trees to replant, or in many instances,
to give
to their family members who no longer live nearby - but who wish to
"have" a
piece of the old farmstead. You can also see these varieties growing in
our
Heirloom Apple Orchard at Lynch Creek.
Let us assist you in preserving
your family "heritage" fruit trees. Contact Bob
to discuss how this is done. We believe there can be no greater "gift"
than a
Heritage Tree to maintain a "link" with the family homestead. |
