Fun fact. American folk legend Johnny Appleseed was actually a very successful businessman. Rather than planting apple trees randomly, he founded tree nurseries for cider production. He wore pauper's clothes because he wanted to, not because he was some vagabond.

Another fun fact. Apple seeds are not true to seed. Which means if you plant apple seeds, you will get crab apples.
