WASHINGTON APPLE & CIDER FACTS:

Washington is the No. 1 apple producing state in the USA. 

Washington’s State Fruit is the apple.

Washington has 7 main apple production areas.

It’s believed the first apple seeds arrived at Fort Vancouver, in what is now Washington State, by traveling in a gentleman’s waistcoat pocket via a Hudson Bay Company sailing vessel in 1826 .

The fascinating history of Washington’s (still living) Oldest Apple Tree, complied by Robert J. Cromwell, Ph.D., Archaeologist with the National Parks Service and Fort Vancouver, can be read here.
