• In 1820, a London sea captain brought seeds to North America’s western coast, the origin of the state of Washington’s apple crop, the largest in the U.S. More than 60% of America’s apple crop of 220,000,000 bushels are grown in Washington. That’s a lot of apples, considering that one bushel is 48 lbs.! • Although we think of Eve convincing Adam to eat a forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden, the Bible’s Book of Genesis does not actually identify the fruit as an apple. It refers to it as the fruit of the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” In ancient languages, the word “apple” was used as a generic term for any round fruit that grew on a tree, bringing about the common misconception that Eve was tempted with an apple. • Apples were associated with pagan religious practices and as mythological symbols. Norse mythology portrays apples as a source of eternal youthfulness, while Greek and Roman myths refer to the fruit as a symbol of love and beauty. Remains of apples have been found in the graves of early Germanic people. • The Jonathan apple is mostly red with patches of lime green. There are differences of opinion as to how this variety got its name. Some say an Ohio woman, Rachel Higley, was responsible for discovering it in 1804, and cultivating an orchard of this tart fruit, naming it after her husband Jonathan. Others claim it was first discovered in 1826 in Woodstock, New York, and was named after Jonathan Hasbrouck, who first introduced the fruit. • The McIntosh apple has its origins in Canada, discovered by John McIntosh on his Ontario farm in 1811.
