Apple Orchard Word Search
Apple trees do not come true from seed, so every Gala or McIntosh on a branch began as a cutting grafted onto rootstock. Growers keep beehives among the rows because blossom needs insects to carry pollen from tree to tree. A standard bushel weighs about forty two pounds, which works out near a hundred and twenty five medium apples.
