The Search for Rare Apple Trees
Luke Marion is on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan looking for apple trees. He finds a tree, takes out a pair of pruners, and cuts last year’s growth off the branches.
- He puts the cuttings in a carefully marked bag and into a cooler, where they will stay dormant.
- There’s a chance these particular apple trees could be very rare.
Beaver Island is 32 miles off mainland Michigan.
