Sale Results
The Pewaukee River Partnership has announced that a total of 36 Pewaukee Apple Trees have been sold.
Of the total, eleven trees have been donated to the Pewaukee Apple Memorial Orchard that is being established at the entrance to Simmons Woods Park.
The orchard is being created as a way to make local citizens aware of their community history. In the mid-1800s George Peffer, a local farmer, developed and promoted the process of grafting fruit trees in the State of Wisconsin. He registered one of his apples as the Pewaukee Apple. A sign will be posted in the orchard explaining the importance of George Peffer and the Pewaukee Apple. The ten Pewaukee Apple trees that have already been planted can be seen in the photo. The new donated trees will be planted in spring, 2008.
