| Summary | "The Apple-Tree" by L. H. Bailey is a horticultural text written in the early 20th century. The book explores the apple-tree in great detail, discussing its characteristics, growth, and significance in landscapes as well as in human culture. It reflects on the personal and emotional connections one can have with apple-trees, intertwining observations of nature with insights into gardening and agriculture. The opening portion introduces the reader to the contrasting landscapes of tropical regions and the familiar home environment associated with apple-trees. The author expresses a sense of longing for his memories of home, dominated by lush orchards and the comforting presence of apple-trees. Bailey paints vivid images of the lushness and variety found in tropical vegetation, yet reveals an underlying dissatisfaction due to the absence of familiar flora. This comparison sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the apple-tree, its biological intricacies, and its importance as a symbol of agricultural life and personal nostalgia.
