On this day in 1845 Johnny Appleseed died. Appleseed became a folk legend in the USA due to his habit of planting tons of apple tree nurseries there and is thought of, by some Americans, as a great environmentalist, which is ironic as he was planting loads of non-native tree species which is actually very bad for the environment, and mainly for his own profit at that.
And now the news:
How do you like them apples?
