Apple Park's tree whisperer

There have been so many articles about the trees planted in the new Apple campus, and how this was somehow groundbreaking, but it&#x27;s actually been pretty disappointing. I&#x27;ve seen some lists of trees, especially fruit trees, that they&#x27;ve planted, and it&#x27;s pretty uninspired -- they didn&#x27;t Think Different. Lots of pomes (Apples, Pears, etc.) and stone fruit (Plums, Cherries, etc.) -- conventional varieties too. And they talk about drought tolerance, but I haven&#x27;t seen a single mention of them planting White Sapote, a fruit perfectly adapted to the local climate, delicious, and very productive (not to mention, rare). Or various Guava relatives (Lemon &#x2F; Strawberry Guava, Guabiju, Pineapple Guava, etc.). And that&#x27;s just scratching the surface...<p>I wish they would have talked to the local chapter of California Rare Fruit Growers to plan an orchard with a true diversity of interesting fruit. They had an opportunity to include a huge diversity of fruits and cultivars with the space they have, but it seems like they&#x27;re not going to.

I&#x27;ve visited a park here that has living trees that were planted by a wealthy retired officer, to be sail ship masts. Now would be about harvesting time, some 100 years later. It&#x27;s a nice place though.<p>I applaud their efforts. Seems it&#x27;s just impossible to let the environment be. First everything absolutely just must be destroyed, and then, years later, somebody must spend a lot of effort and time to actually try to make it &quot;nice&quot; again, and they won&#x27;t see the results in their lifetime anyway.

I can&#x27;t believe that this is the first time anyone&#x27;s ever brought up plating a macintosh apple tree. I mean, if you have the opportunity to make a pun in tree form, how could you not?
