In 1910, my great grandparents bought empty land in Creston, British Columbia and started a started a fruit orchard. It stayed in the family for over 60 years. I just learned last week that my great grandfather planted “Grandfather Trees” in his orchard when each child and grandchild was born. He told each kid “That is your tree. You will get the harvest from that tree forever.”
The things you learn about your ancestors! What a sweet bit of news about his personality.
thank you for this beautiful story
