Today, there are only 15 trees remaining, which include walnut, apple, pear and cherry. The surviving apple varieties indicate the orchard may have been developed as a commercial orchard to sell fruit, since the varieties found- Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, Gravenstein, and White Winter Pearmain- were all popular, edible varieties that are reliable apple producers. The White Winter Pearmain is notable as the oldest variety, first recorded about 1200 A.D. It was also one of the first apple varieties brought to the New World by the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts.
