​Francis Land House Apple Tree Project 

This newly designed and installed fruit and berry garden is a project of the Tree Stewards who had previously worked over twenty years with the old apple orchard that had to be removed due to disease. The replacement apple orchard contains historical apple tree varieties that were grafted on a semi-dwarf rootstock. The dwarf stock is used to keep the trees within bounds for pruning, spraying, and picking.  The berry garden has four sections separated by a crushed clam pathway and features several types of blueberries, currants, native beautyberries, pawpaw trees, and perennial ground covers. The project is overseen by the Master Gardener Tree Stewards and is open to the public.
