We just returned from a week in downeast Maine. There are untended apple trees all over the place, and I spent more than a little time wondering what they were, what they tasted like, who planted them, and so on. Interesting to read about the French bringing over their cuttings.
Indeed! Some might be seedling apples, just grown from whatever fruit was dropped there. But I see a lot of abandoned orchards here in NH, and they are probably all over Maine, as well. In the past they would have been chosen for both table fruit and cider.
One teeny tiny correction: it’s Paolo Pertusio (not perduseo). I am lucky enough to call him a friend and even luckier that he gave me the apples and pears for my first ever vintage of cider, so I couldn’t let it pass!
