Osborne, Apple Gathering, Quimperle, 1883. Everywhere that Protestantism went, orcharding followed. Apples appealed to Protestant sensibilities more than any other fruit. The trees were thought neither greedy nor temperamental, and rewarded the diligence of the planter with good, useful and long-lasting food – all qualities that Protestants admired and tried to cultivate in themselves.
