The apple tree lost nearly all of its leaves over the winter, and I thought it was a goner.
I was wrong.
I moved it from the spot by my door where it received 3-4 hours of full sun to a spot where it received 6-8 hours of full sun, and it loves it.

Hello again. I should have looked at the newer posts for an update on the tree. My apologies. Congratulations on the continued success of the tree.
If ever you need a home for this tree, I would be willing to adopt it and pay for the shipping as well. I could put it next to my larger Gala.
Thank you again for the wonderful story.
Thanks for reading, Benny! I have no idea whether this tree will ever bear fruit, but it feels magical to have cared for a tree from its very beginning. I'm still sorting out its living situation, and will keep your generous offer in mind. Where are you located?
Hi there Narinda,
I love your blog and look forward to more posts. :)
This is a very magical story and even if it never bears fruit (bear in mind you need at least one other apple tree for cross pollination to get fruit)the tree is an amazing testament to the beauty of life.
The offer will always be open for me to adopt the tree.
I live in Colorado and my garden contains many plants that have a story attached to them. For example, I have the Priscilla Hollyhock which are descendants of the hollyhocks planted by a slave girl named Priscilla who marched on the Cherokee trail and was inevitably rescued. I also have the Peggy Martin rose which is the only rose that survived in the garden of Peggy Martin after Hurricane Katrina. For me, the garden is about the story behind the plants. :)
I wish you nothing but the very best.
Take care,
Benny
