Apple tree advertisment

I picked up a entertainment paper on a drive through NW Connecticut. There were two ad circulars inside. Each sported the very typical cupons for soap, deoderant, conditioner, shampoo, razors... all manner of batheroom paraphenelia. And one half page ad for dwarf apple trees... One of these things is not like the others.

I am of course pleased to see the ad. I would love nothing more than for thousands of ignorant suburbanites to be planting and ignoring apple trees in the backs of their manicured quarter acre lots. Try to imagine a future with apple trees growing like weeds from old neighborhoods in downtown, on highway median strips leaning out over the guardrails leaves clipping the sides of cars.
