Lon Rombough, author of The Grape Grower: A Guide to Organic Viticulture, shares a personal family story about the origin of his father’s apple tree, and how it evolved into something quite spectacular.
In this video, Rombough’s story reveals not only a remarkable mind that grasps the complexities of nature at a deeper level, but a practical knowledge for how to extend the plant breeder’s tools of grafting to produce a single tree containing three different but complimentary varieties of apples: Orange Pippins, Holstein, and Liberty.
And, a nice story, to boot!
