Tree #86
Description
Two trees appear joined below ground level, some crown dead. Very bitter small red apples. Originally thought to be planted as an intentional cider tree, but upon further inspection unlikely.
Current theory: this is regrown rootstock. The two trunks coming up is characteristic of grafted trunk dieback followed by rootstock shoot growth. While specific rootstock varieties existed, it was common at the time for varieties to be grafted onto seedlings. Cidermakers especially in Europe would sell the seeds from their apples as a bulk commodity for export as a byproduct of cidermaking. This tree is now thought to be a seedling of a 19th century cider apple tree which was used as rootstock.
