#OTD Birth of Albert Etter, American #Plantsman & #Plant #Breeder.Today, people are trying to find & save #Etter #Apple #Trees.
His #Surprise Apple, from #Kazakhstan, had #Pink flesh.
At 21, Albert got 640 acres of free #Land (#Ettersburg) & shared his tip to #Maximize the land:
"How many is 15,000 apple trees?
Planted 30 feet apart, a row of 15,000 would cover 35 miles.But the #Seedlings I grow, are top-grafted on large trees, sometimes 200-300 on a single #Tree."
