Johnny Appleseed – Джонни Яблочное Зёрнышко Johnny Appleseed (1774–1845), born John Chapman, was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. He became an American legend while still alive, largely because of his kind and generous ways, his great leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance he attributed to apples. The popular image is of Johnny Appleseed spreading apple seeds randomly, everywhere he went. In fact, he planted nurseries rather than orchards, built fences around them to protect them from livestock, left the nurseries in the care of a neighbor, and returned every year or two to tend the nursery. Though apples grown from seed are rarely sweet or tasty, the orchards with sour apples were popular among the settlers because apples were mainly used for producing hard cider and applejack. In some periods of the settlement of the Midwest, settlers were required by law to plant orchards of apples and pears in order to uphold the right to the claimed land. For these reasons Johnny Appleseed’s pre-planted orchards made for popular real estate on the frontier.
