THE OLDEST APPLE TREES
by Frederic J. lIas',i1

were planted by the Franciscan friars
of the Quaral mission, and II that is
the case. the original trees must have
been planted before the year .l675
which would make them at least $50
years old. OF course. the original
trees may have died and others may
have grown up from seeds or roots.
That this has happened in some cases
is indicated by tho fart that many Of
the trees are double. as though two
shoots had sprung up and grown to-
gcther.
Naturally much legend ciirgs about
the Old trees. but n scientific invcs,i-
cation Of them had never been under
taken until last sdmmer. Ii Was in
.ttdtcd 10y discussion between
several government men as to how
long apple trees live. \ plant
pathologist connected with the Depart
mcut ~ Agriculture was especially
eager To know this. as IL would shed
light upon certain phase OF his work.
lie said that the oldest apple tree OF
which he had been able TO find any
record was in an Oregon oiChard and
that IL was somewhere between 80 and
60 years old. 4 Forest Service man
told him OF this apple orchard that
had stood FOR centuries. according TO
legend. lilo pooh-poohcd the legend.
The discussion ended by the two mems
climbing into a car and driving 70
miles across the mountains TO the
town OF Mauzano.
Trees sim Productive.
They found that the old orchard
stood in an arroyo or dry water
course. No one seemed to care Tor &.
/, got no water IN that land Of per
pctual drouth except what came down
the arroyo when Il rained. The trees
were badly in need of pruning. all
81 them containing dead limbs. hu'
