The Old Apple Tree in Vancouver, Washington, was planted in 1826 when fur traders of the Hudson's Bay Company settled in the area. It was considered the matriarch of the region's bustling apple industry and produced a green apple that was bitter to the taste but great for baking."While we knew this day would come, we hoped it was still years away," Charles Ray, urban forester for the City of Vancouver, told CNN.
Richardson said that in 1934, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, visiting the area, was presented with a pie baked with apples from the tree. The pie was baked by Ms. Fay Peabody, the"official apple pie baker" of Oregon and Washington, according to news reports of the time.RELATED: On the hunt for rare seeds in the middle of a pandemicA descendant of the Old Apple Tree was planted near the Clark County Historical Museum in the 1950s, according to Richardson.
