"The Apple-Tree" by L. H. Bailey is a book that dives into the world of apple-trees, examining everything from how they grow to what they mean to us. The author thinks about feelings of home, comparing striking landscapes with the loving memories he has of the orchards from his past. He describes vibrant tropical plants but explains he still feels like something is missing because there are no familiar apple-trees. Bailey uses these feelings as a way to explore apple-trees, discussing their biology and why they are important for both farms and personal memories.
