Introducing HeatWell Heater! The Small Yet Powerful Heater That Heats Up Any Space in 10 Minutes
ence,apple cores,dated to the 10th century BCE from a Judean site between the Sinai and Negev. There was substantial apple production in European classical antiquity,and grafting was certainly known then. Grafting is an essential part of modern domesticated apple production,to be able to propagate the best cultivars; it is unclear when apple tree grafting was invented. Problems playing this file? See media help. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder describes a method of storage for apples from his time in the 1st century. He says they should be placed in a room with good air circulation from a north facing window on a bed of straw,chaff,or mats with windfalls kept separately. Though methods like this will extend the availabity of reasonably fresh apples,without refrigeration their lifespan is limited. Even sturdy winter apple varieties will only keep well until December in cool climates. For longer storage medieval Europeans strung up cored and peeled apples to dry,either whole or sliced into rings. Of the many Old World plants that the Spanish introduced to Chiloé Archipelago in the 16th century,apple trees became particularly well adapted. Apples were introduced to North America by colonists in the 17th century, and the first named apple cultivar was introduced in Boston by Reverend William Blaxton in 1640. The only apples native to North America are crab apples. Apple cultivars brought as seed from Europe were spread along Native American trade routes,as well as being cultivated on colonial farms. An 1845 United States apples nursery catalogue sold 350 of the "best" cultivars,showing the proliferation of new North American cultivars by the early 19th century. In the 20th century,irrigation projects in Eastern Washington began and allowed the development of the multibillion-dollar fruit industry,of which the apple is the leading product. Until the 20th century,farmers stored apples in frostproof cellars during the winter for their own use or for sale. Improved transportation of fresh apples by train and road replaced the necessity for storage. Controlled atmosphere facilities are used to keep apples fresh year-round. Controlled atmosphere facilities use high humidity,low oxygen,and controlled carbon dioxide levels to maintain fru
