Wyoming Lane — Continued WL12— Accolade Elm -This tree is highly resistant to Elm Leaf Beetle. Holler, O. Milton
Milton Holler was born in 1928 in Wheatland. As a young child his family moved to Torrington. Milton was very active in the agricultural community in Torrington and traveled much of Wyoming and the western US selling the sugar beet puller rims, flails and bean knives which he manufactured. In addition to his passion for planting trees, he was a true Studebaker lover. His family remembers him saying, “There are only two good times to plant a tree. “Today and twenty-five years ago.” He is remembered as a “Tree Lover”. His father, Oscar Dell Holler, planted trees wherever they lived. Many were apple trees of various types, but also pine, cedar, black walnut, and fruit trees, as well (cherry, pear, apricot). The family had a large apple orchard outside of Torrington where they picked apples in the fall and sold by the bushel to buy school clothes.
