One fall across from the Seaquist market in Liberty Grove, Wisconsin, an apple tree exceeded all expectations, offering up a dazzling profusion of crimson fruit. Despite the weighty load, the tree still managed to balance its crop, though bending ever so gracefully and delicately to touch the ground, never wearying of its load. Such trees symbolize the bounty of Door County, the wonder of its climate and splendid orchards.
