This afternoon the Morrison family planted a tree in honor of their sister Sandy who passed away from ALS last November. Donna, her brother Steve and brother Scott (along with Scott’s wife and 3 kids, plus me) picked out an apple tree from a local nursery yesterday. Oldest brother Jim flew in this morning so all the surviving Morrison siblings were in attendance at the ceremony.
We picked out a hybrid tree grafted from 5 different apple trees to ensure self pollination. Washington State is famous for its apples, so we are hoping that in a couple more years the tree will start producing fruit.
