Apple Tats

The Tree with the Apple Tattoo



From the Société Régionale d’Horticulture de Montreuil in France where they are reviving an art - www.srhm.fr/ALBUMfruitsmarques.html , that was practiced in the late 1800s. There is a fantastic set of historical pictures here - www.srhm.fr/ALBUMtravailquotidien.html and walled orchards here - www.srhm.fr/ALBUMmurs.html and here - www.ediblegeography.com/solar-peach-walls/.

BTW, the greenhouses mentioned at the end of the story look like this at 100 miles/inch. Zooming in from 100 km/inch into 10 m/inch is mind blowing.

Interesting, indeed. The notion of an apple bearing the nude image of Eve is tempting.

Or perhaps this while sitting under the apple tree thinking about Eve.



Looks like they do peaches as well.
