A 194-year-old apple tree, the matriarch of the Northwest apple industry, has died

Updated 1:00 PM ET, Sat August 22, 2020

An apple tree thought to be the oldest in the Pacific Northwest has died this summer at 194 years of age.

The Old Apple Tree in Vancouver, Washington, was planted in 1826 when fur traders of the Hudson's Bay Company settled in the area. It was considered the matriarch of the region's bustling apple industry and produced a green apple that was bitter to the taste but great for baking.

Around 2015, the team of experts caring for the tree noticed that the cambium layer -- the layer in the trunk responsible for transporting water and nutrients to the top of the tree -- was starting to die back, Ray explained. That contributed to the creation of a spiral crack in the trunk, which hollowed out over the years. The tree finally died in June.

I breaks my heart when I see trees being cut down just because they are no longer wanted, trees help keep the Earth alive.
