The apple tree and the well

The Apple Tree (1917) is a long short story written by a prominent English novelist, playwright and short story writer John Galsworthy. His most famous novels are The Man of Property, A Modern Comedy and The Forsyte Saga. In his works, he gives a truthful picture of English bourgeois society at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The Apple Tree is called «most finely crafted, most symbolic, and most poetic tale».

The extract under analysis shows us two no-longer-students Frank Ashurst and Robert Garton who want to get to Chagford, Ashurst having an aching knee. On their way, they decide to put up for a night on some farm. They see a girl who invites them in her aunt’s farm and whom Ashurst find quite attractive. On the farm, they ask for a stream to have a bath and are told about one near an apple tree.

In the given extract, there is no conflict; it is only an exposition of the story, where we can see only the beginning of the relationship between Ashurst and Megan. In this part, the author shows us the contrast between people of different social classes.

The main characters are Frank Ashurst and Megan David. He is a representative of the upper class, a graduate from the university, he is «pale, idealistic», and he has a bent for literature. As an educated person, he loves talking about philosophical matters. The girl they meet is different. She’s wearing a «dark frieze skirt», «worn and old greyish blouse», «split shoes» and a Scottish bonnet worn usually by men, her hands are «rough and red», and her neck is «browned» because of working under the sun. She is, surely, not that educated as Ashurst is.

Two more characters reflecting this contrast are Ashurst’s friend Garton and Megan’s aunt Mrs. Narracombe. Garton is opposed to Ashurst to some extent (he is «like some primeval beast» and very communicative, while Ashurst is more meditative), but mostly for diversity of characters. He is also well-educated and intellectual and may even seem somewhat haughty. Mrs. Narracombe is hospitable, and this trait of character is more often demonstrated by representatives of the lower class.

In order to prove his point of view, the author uses stylistic devices. Firstly, there are a number of epithets in descriptions («peacock tam-o’-shanter», «crisp voice», «round-the-corner», «dewy eyes»), idioms («talking through his hat»), metaphors («haven’t met a soul for miles»), similes, trite and genuine («thin as rails», «like some primeval beast»). All these devices are used to create the atmosphere, to make the descriptions more artistic and underline the characters’ peculiarities in a more accurate way. There are also some poetic words («maiden»).

Galsworthy uses such a graphic means as graphon («I thought you were a Celt»). The reason to italicize the word «thought» is to show that Garton makes a special stress on it as if emphasizing his knowledge. There is one more graphon of different kind, which serves to create the atmosphere. The author uses dialectal forms «strame, sittin’, an'» instead of «stream, sitting, and» to show that the action takes place in Devonshire.

Besides, in order to reveal Ashurst’s feelings and meditation at the end of extract, the author uses enumeration of things which belong to different spheres: «He thought of Theocritus, and the river Cherwell, of the moon, and the maiden with dewy eyes». Here we can see also an example of polysyndeton which makes the sentence smoother and more poetic.

As for syntactic structure, there are both simple and complex sentences. The former are used in dialogues accompanied by ellipsis (which, alongside the absence of the author’s speech, makes them more vivid and natural), and the latter are used mostly in descriptions. In the description of Megan there is also anaphora («her shoes were, . her little hands, . her neck…») and some chaotic repetitions («her face was short, her upper lip short», «her brows were straight and dark, her lashes long and dark, her nose straight»). Those repetitions of simple adjectives create rhythm and, probably, make us think that Ashurst’s eyes are quickly jumping from one part of Megan’s body to another. In addition, there is an example of inversion («by the house door stood a woman») for the purpose of smoother narration.

The extract is written in a third-person narrative. The author helps us to see the action with Ashurst’s eyes and listen to his inner thoughts. Those thoughts characterize him well enough: we could do even without his direct description to understand that he is «full of absence». His thoughts change their direction quickly, e.g.: «The sky, the flowers, the songs of birds! Robert was talking through his hat.»

There is also a symbol in this story — the apple tree (the title is not occasional, of course). In Celtic culture (Megan is a Celt), the apple tree deals with love, truth, beauty, remembrance, purity. These meanings are only hinted at in this extract, but we can see them fully in the whole story.

I cannot help admiring this work. I am charmed by the style and the master use of expressive means and stylistic devices, especially syntactic ones. They make me want to read the story again and again. I am also attracted by symbolism and poetics of the story. Besides, it is necessary to say that Galsworthy managed to create a good image of people from different social classes and living in different places.

I’m going to analyze a long short story “The apple tree” by John Galsworthy , an English novelist and playwright, one of the most popular writers of the early 20th century. He was born in Coombe, Surrey in August 14, 1867. John Galsworthy was educated at Harrow and New College, Oxford.

Although Galsworthy is best known for his novels, he was also a successful playwright. John Galsworthy was awarded the Order of Merit in 1929 and the Nobel Prize for literature in 1932.

In “The apple tree”, John Galsworthy tells the story of Asherst, a middle-aged man who once goes to a village with his wife. While being there he remembers that 26 years ago just at that place, when he was a young man and just graduated from the university, he met a young girl, Megan by name, whom he fell in love. He promised to marry her and they decided to go away together. The next day he went to Torquay for money but there Asherst met his old friend, Phil Halliday by name , who invited him to spend a day with him and his sisters. Then the author passes on to say that Asherst fell in love with Phil’s sister Stella. The story ends with Asherst’s desire to look at the farm where Megan lived. There he meets an old man, who tells him that Megan commited a suicide because of unhappy love.

There is an external type of a conflict in the story. The two parties are Asherst that is protagonist, and Megan, antagonist. The author describes them combining two methods of characterization. The main character of the story is Asherst. He is a middle aged married man. He is well-educated. It’s quite clear that 26 years ago Asherst was inexperienced and young. He is very romantic as he says that he was always in love with somebody. It is important for him to have a person to admire and think about. Galsworthy succeded to show different sides of Asherst’s being. In the beginning of the story, when Asherst first meets Megan, we sympathize with him. The author managed to make the reader believe it to be real deep love which would end happily. But in Torquay he behaves as fully another person. He didn’t even want to explain everything Megan, whom he was supposed to love very much. He just decided to avoid superfluous problems pretending that he didn’d notice her.

Another main character of the story is Megan. She is a beautiful girl of seventeen years old. It doesn’t do the readers any difficulty to understand that she is very naïve and romantic young girl “with a loving heart” as an old man said about her. She doesn’t happen to be anywhere but in the farm. She is always busy doing all the job on the farm as she is the only woman there except her aunt. The author tries to make us sympathize with her. He shows that there isn’t any person on the farm with whom she could have heart-to-heart talk. Every day’s talks with Asherst make her be deeply attached to him. She is also a very honest and faithful person because it doesn’t come to her mind that Ahserst’s absence is caused by his unwillingness to come to her again. She doesn’t believe it because it is not in her nature and she doesn’t think it to be in somebody else’s nature. Megan is shown as a virgin character who has never loved before, never been anywhere, never faced with another people. Her commiting a suicide is an important part of the story. Even if she didn’t do that, she wouldn’t be that Megan that is shown in the story. She would be completely another person, would lose her naivety and “loving heart”, because such kinds of incidents totally change a person.

Galsworthy uses third-person objective narration. That means that the narrator doesn’t participate in the actions but knows everything concerning the characters. I think it to be a very objective and reliable type of narration because the author can enter the minds of the characters and the reader is able to know more.

The story is written in simple language. While showing the conversation with the children or with an old man on the farm, the author writes in dialectal words in order to make the reader deeply feel the atmosphere of that farm. He also writes that the two friends while going “haven’t met a soul for miles”. This metaphor is used in order to show that the farm is situated by itself and people on the farm live exclusive lives. While describing Megan the author also uses many epithets and metaphors. “Megan’s eyes were the wonder – dewy as if opened for the first time that day”. Using this stylistic device the author shows Megan’s beauties of nature. Such epithets as “greyish blouse”, “worn and old”, “split shoes” show her pressure of work. The language of an extract helps us to understand that the characters that day were all in good mood as they joke and try to be as friendly as possible.

The syntactical pattern is not very difficult and it doesn’t do any difficulty to follow the main idea.

The story is devoted to the problem of relationship between people from different social classes. It is difficult for Asherst to decide to go back to Megan as he understands them to be too different to live together. It is important for some of us to get on with people from our social class. There would be too many things on which we would have different points of view. And of course misunderstanding makes it more difficult to get on with a person.

And also there is another problem in the story. The problem of responsibility of our words. If we say something, we should do it. Asherst prefers to disguise himself instead of coming up to Megan and explaining his intentions. We should think in advance whether we could do something or not. No matter how difficult it is to be responsible for our words. It is better not to promise than to disappoint a person who believed you.

Read on for the best apple varieties for your growing zone, information on how they get along, and more.

The Important Bits

I’ve broken up the main highlights on how to grow an abundant harvest successfully below, to give you a better idea of what each key element of information actually means.

As you’re reading, you’ll get a primer on what to expect when growing apple trees; at times, it may seem a bit overwhelming.

Stick to it, and I’ll summarize at the end (see the boxed out section below)!

Growing Zones

Apple trees tend to thrive in areas with nice, cold winters. Most won’t grow anywhere warmer than zone 8, but there are a few exceptions, as you’ll see below.

Chill Hours

Cool periods are so important to apple trees that they actually need hundreds of “chill hours” every year to break dormancy, and regulate growth.

You can’t cheat this system; these trees need a specific range of cool weather hours (in the range of 32-45°F) to survive and prosper.

Determining your exact amount of chill hours can be tricky business, so a good estimate is usually the way to go. You could either calculate this number yourself by examining your average winter weather (typically from September to April) and finding a rough estimate of how many days fit this temperature range, or you can go by this map.

Another option is to use this fancy calculator and enter your zip code. The calculator can take a few minutes to get you the information you need, so a bit of patience is required.

Multiple methods are used to calculate chill hours, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Use these numbers as estimates for your own garden.

Flowering Groups

Apple trees bloom at different periods of the year, and because most require cross-pollination between at least two types of apple, you’ll need to select trees that bloom during the same period.

You don’t need an orchard, but planting at least two trees is a requirement for fruit production.

Unsurprisingly, these flowering periods are broken into groups:

Group 1: Pollinated by Groups 1, 2
Group 2: Pollinated by Groups 1, 2, 3
Group 3: Pollinated by Groups 2, 3, 4
Group 4: Pollinated by Groups 3, 4, 5
Group 5: Pollinated by Groups 4, 5, 6
Group 6: Pollinated by Groups 5, 6, 7
Group 7: Pollinated by Group 6

Some apples will self-pollinate, meaning they don’t strictly need another apple tree to produce fruit (thought this will generally help you to get a bigger harvest, in all cases).

Many trees need a different cultivar in close proximity to pollinate fruit through a process called “cross pollination”.

And don’t forget apples that are “triploid,” a biological term that translates to, “needs two separate pollinators to produce fruit.” These trees are best left to those with enough room to grow at least a few trees on their property.

Lastly, crabapple trees can pollinate regular apples, but only if they are in bloom during the same period.

Height

Pretty simple here! This is an average expected height for your trees to reach.

Most will have a spread, or width, that is similar to their height. Make sure you’ve got room for the trees to grow and spread out!

Recommended Uses and Special Notes

Each of these 19 varieties includes some recommendations or special notes. Maybe it’s a good use for the fruit, or growing considerations. Each one is different, and you’re gonna have to check out each tree to find what they are.

I’m Feeling a Bit Lost

Don’t fret! All of this information boils down to the following key points:

You’re going to have to plant more than one tree if you want it to produce fruit (or plant near a neighbor’s tree).
Make sure the tree you’re planting can grow in your USDA climate zone.
Your tree needs to be planted with others that flower at identical or overlapping times.
Your trees need to planted within 50 feet of one another to cross-pollinate.
Different cultivars offer different uses, such as eating out of hand, cooking and baking, or making cider.

Flowering Group 1

1. Early Harvest

Talk about an ‘Early Harvest!’ These apples are firm and crisp, and produce fruit very early.

The fruit lasts for weeks in the refrigerator, but like most apples, they taste best when fresh.

‘Early Harvest‘ also does well when pollinated with white-flowering crabapples.

Growing Zones: 3-8

Chill Hours: 800-1000

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 1, 2

Height: 20-25’ (dwarf varieties available)

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: When picked young the fruit is excellent for baking. This tree blooms earlier than many other apple cultivars, so consider adding some white-flowering crabapples to your landscape to aid in pollination.

2. Gravenstein

‘Gravenstein’ 4- to 5-Foot Trees in #3 Containers, available from Nature Hills Nursery

If you like your apples tart (and I sure do), this might be the one you’ve been waiting to pucker up with.

A native to Denmark, the ‘Gravenstein‘ is an excellent apple for making into sauces and cider. The fruit tends to ripen unevenly, so frequent picking is recommended.

Growing Zones: 2-9

Chill Hours: 700

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 1, 2

Height: 15-20’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Triploid! Great for cooking and is hardy to cold weather. Blooms earlier than most.

Flowering Group 2

3. Lodi

Oh, lordy, I love a ‘Lodi‘ apple. I’ve admittedly never had one of these unless it was from an orchard, but they’re pretty darn good to snack into.

They tend to produce their fruit earlier than many other cultivars, even in Flowering Group 2, so that’s a plus for when you want to start chowing down on homegrown fruit earlier than the fall.

Growing Zones: 3-8

Chill Hours: 800-1000

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 1, 2, 3

Height: 10-25’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Triploid! Excellent for applesauce and early season pies. The fruit freezes better than it survives being refrigerated. Can handle a wider array of soils than other types.

4. McIntosh

4- to 5-Foot ‘McIntosh’ Trees in #3 Containers, available from Nature Hills Nursery

I grew up on a dying orchard dominated by McIntosh trees, so these are my favorites.

Juicy, tart, and with just the right amount of crunch, the McIntosh is perfect for snacking straight from the tree. Or, you could use them to make a pie like my aunts used to do.

They are also beautiful as an ornamental and… you know what? If you can grow a McIntosh, grow it! You won’t regret planting this hardy tree with its tasty fruit!

Growing Zones: 4-7

Chill Hours: 900

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 1, 2, 3

Height: 15-20’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Cold hardy, provides a bountiful and early harvest each year. Pollinators love a McIntosh.

Flowering Group 3

5. Arkansas Black

If there was a contest for “Coolest Apple Name” it would surely be awarded to the Arkansas Black. Fortunately, the tree is also a hardy and vigorous grower.

The almost-black skin and golden flesh is perfect for cooking, but the tough fruit can be a bit much to easily snack on.

Four- to 5-foot or 5- to 6-foot trees are available from Brighter Blooms via Amazon.

Growing Zones: 4-8

Chill Hours: 800-900

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 12-16’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Triploid! Fruit harvest is large but late in the season. Stores well for extended periods. Great for use in wintertime pancakes.

6. Fuji

4 to 5-Foot ‘Fuji’ Trees in #3 Containers, available from Nature Hills

A Japanese cultivar bred from American stock, the Fuji is always a favorite for fresh eating.

The fruit tastes delicious when used for juicing and cider.

Growing Zones: 6-9

Chill Hours: 200-400

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 10-15’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Does not tolerate drought. Best harvested in early September. Can be stored for up to six months if refrigerated.

7. Granny Smith

4- to 5-Foot ‘Granny Smith’ Trees in #3 Containers, available from Nature Hills Nursery

My number two favorite apple, the Granny Smith is a tree with strong limbs and an equally strong flavor.

The fruit is best harvested in October, but because this tree thrives in warmer climates than most cultivars, it makes picking a pleasant experience.

Growing Zones: 6-9

Chill Hours: 400

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 18-20’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Self-fertile! Great for raw snacking and in baked treats like scones (find the recipe for these and other delicious uses for your harvest on our sister site, Foodal.) Responds very well to regular, careful pruning.

8. Jonagold

A name that isn’t easy to forget, the Jonagold offers a balanced flavor and lovely appearance. The attractive fruit is delicious when eaten raw, and those lovely white flowers are easy to appreciate.

Four- to 5-foot 2-year-old trees are available from Bob Wells Nursery via Amazon.

Growing Zones: 5-8

Chill Hours: 700-800

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 12-15’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Triploid! Offers a balanced flavor but needs a balanced growing area as well, with soils that are well-drained, slightly acidic, and of average fertility. Susceptible to root rot in poorly drained areas.

9. Macoun

4- to 5-Foot ‘Macoun’ Trees in #3 Containers, available from Nature Hills

With a fun-to-say name, the Macoun is another cultivar that rivals the tastiness of the McIntosh, with fruit that is very sweet.

It can be a little more picky than other cultivars in terms of ideal growing conditions, and prefers especially deep and well-draining soil. But the fruit it provides makes up for its pickiness.

Growing Zones: 4-7

Chill Hours: 600

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 15-20’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Perfect for fresh eating and for purees and sauces. This type does not do well in storage and should be utilized when fresh. The growing habit is upright and requires diligent, aggressive pruning.

10. Pink Lady

With a name like Pink Lady, you can be sure that this apple is a looker. It’s a classic in the grocery store and a great mid-season variety to enjoy straight from the tree.

The trees themselves are quite lovely, and the flavor of the fruit packs a subtle tart punch.

Hold off on eating one of these after you pick it for about a month to experience the flavor at its peak.

Growing Zones: 6-9

Chill Hours: 200-400

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 12-20’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Self-fruitful and a popular choice for regions of the American Southwest that are otherwise devoid of apple species.

11. Red Jonathan

An old-timey tree, the Red Jonathan possesses a uniquely sharp taste.

It is excellent for long-term storage with medium-sized apples that are perfect for snacking, and is quite the looker while in bloom.

Growing Zones: 4-8

Chill Hours: 700-800

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 15-20’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Start

12. Wealthy

Quite the looker, the Wealthy possesses stunning blooms and has a flavor reminiscent of strawberries.

It is resistant to most apple illnesses, and best of all, the fruit drops on maturity. Talk about easy!

Growing Zones: 4-7

Chill Hours: 1000

Pollinates With Flowering Groups: 2, 3, 4

Height: 12-15’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Great for any culinary purpose. Long bloom period and very juicy fruit.

Flowering Group 4

13. Empire

The Empire is not my favorite variety – but it may be yours!

It’s hard to find a better looking fruit out there, and the modest height of this cultivar makes it an ideal solution for smaller properties.

Some folks claim that the Empire outdoes the McIntosh in sheer delectability (but I just can’t agree with that)!

Growing Zones: 4-9

Chill Hours: 800

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 3, 4, 5

Height: About 15’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: To avoid growing a hundred tiny apples, you’ll want to regularly thin your ‘Empire’ crop to maximize the size of your fruit.

14. Gala

Originating from New Zealand (the land down under the Land Down Under – remember that Men at Work song?), the Gala is easy to grow and offers a sweet taste.

The fruit can be stored for months at a time, and is ideal for snacking and cooking. The tree grows easily and is less picky than others.

Growing Zones: 5-8

Chill Hours: 500

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 3, 4, 5

Height: 12-16’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Self-fertile… but this is not recommended. The ‘Gala’ strongly benefits from cross-pollination. Regular pruning promotes better fruit spurs. Best harvested near the end of August or early September, depending on where you live.

15. Honeycrisp

Crunchy, sweet, and a delight to look at, the Honeycrisp has excellent storage life. But better than that, it may be planted in a wide range of climates and grows vigorously.

Its taste is spectacular, reason enough for me to add one to my own yard.

Growing Zones: 3-7

Chill Hours: 800-1000

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 3, 4, 5

Height: 14-15’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Self-fertile! The central leader tends to require a bit of support as the tree gets on in size and age. Take a closer look at the Honeycrisp in this feature on our sister site, Foodal.

16. Red Delicious

Some people love the Red Delicious. Having said that, I’m always reminded of my school lunchroom. It’s safe to say I’ll never be able to appreciate this apple, but it does have its advocates!

The tree grows quickly and the fruit stores for up to six months. That’s probably why it’s a mainstay in cafeterias everywhere.

Growing Zones: 5-8

Chill Hours: 700-800

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 3, 4, 5

Height: 20-25’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Great for desserts. Requires regular watering, and fruit is best harvested at the end of September.

17. Stayman Winesap

Producing a good-sized crop, the Stayman Winesap grows in an appealing oval shape and sports pink flowers when in bloom.

The sweet and tart flavor of the fruit is reminiscent of wine, which makes it perfect for apple cider donuts or served alongside a glass of red.

Growing Zones: 5-8

Chill Hours: 800

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 3, 4, 5

Height: 20-25’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Requires regular watering. Excellent choice for making applesauce and provides a crop size to get you all you’ll need.

Flowering Group 5

18. Northern Spy

While it may take some time to become established, the Northern Spy is an excellent apple with admirable hardiness against the cold.

It can hold its leaves well into December, and requires plenty of pruning to encourage good structure. A classic tree that requires ample work to truly enjoy!

Growing Zones: 3-7

Chill Hours: 1000

Pollinates with Flowering Groups: 4, 5, 6

Height: 25’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Store fruit in cool conditions to enjoy in the springtime.

19. Red Rome

The Red Rome has a distinctive droopy appearance which translates to “it’s gonna need some support.”

The tree is not especially fast growing, but because it grows later in the season, it is less susceptible to hard freezes.

The flesh of the fruit is almost hard, so it’s great for baking but less ideal for raw eating.

Three- to 5-foot semi-dwarf ‘Rome’ trees are available from Grower’s Solution via Amazon.

Growing Zones: 4-8

Chill Hours: 700

Pollinates with Flowering Group(s): 4, 5, 6

Height: 10-14’

Recommended Uses and Special Notes: Great for adding to homemade barbecue sauce. Harvest in late October, and the fruit stores well when refrigerated.

Snack Time’s Over

Now we’ve got a nice collection of apple trees to consider for our homes and gardens!

Make sure you’re planting trees that’ll grow in your zone, and also share a neighboring flowering group. And of course, make sure you’re picking the right apple for your needs.

Please leave your comments, questions, suggestions, and requests in the comments – they’re always appreciated!
