“The only apple I remember from my childhood was the Red Delicious someone gave me at Halloween. I felt ripped off that they didn’t give me candy,” recalled author and Maine apple historian John Bunker. “(At that time), I thought apples came in only red and green.” After Bunker grew up, graduated from college, and moved to Super Chilly Farm in Palermo, Maine, he discovered apple trees, specifically those ancient specimens that grow in backyards and in far-off fields throughout rural Maine. Appreciating a potential source of free food and seeing as no one did anything with the fruit, Bunker sought for and received permission to collect the windfalls. In the course of his collections,
Bunker began learning about apples from the owners and soon came to a surprising realization. “I realized pretty quickly there were more than red ones and green ones. There were thousands (of varieties),” Bunker recalled. Thus began a lifetime of fascination with the heirloom apples of Maine. Bunker has spent nearly five decades on Super Chilly Farm, developing an offthe-grid homestead and communitysupported agriculture program. He has collected information about as many of the different varieties of apples growing in Maine as possible, and in 1984, he started Fedco Trees to encourage others to plant trees and to fund his travels. Bunker writes about his tree-tracking adventures in the Fedco Trees catalog, See Heirloom Apple Expert pg 6
