A single apple tree makes an unusual centerpiece, since most images of orchards show rows of trees, and this picture gives the subject room to stand on its own. Apples arrived in North America with European settlers, and by the 1800s they had become a staple of farms and home gardens across the country. Nurserymen such as John Chapman, known as Johnny Appleseed, spread seedlings through the Ohio Valley in the early 1800s, helping make the apple one of the most familiar trees in the rural landscape. Look closely at the branches and the spacing of the leaves to see how the tree was shaped by years of pruning and weather.
