THESE APPLE TREES HAVE BEEN CHOPPED DOWN AT THE FAMOUS TUBB'S ORCHARD ON WESTERN AVENUE IN MAQUOKETA. THEY ARE THE ONES
TO THE NORTH OF THE HOME (IN BACKGROUND) AND THE WORK IS
BEING DONE BY A CEDAR RAPIDS FIRM. OWNER TOM TUBBS TOLD A FRIEND
TODAY THAT HE PLANS TO PLANT 1,000 OAK TREES WHERE THE APPLE TREES WERE AND WILL DO THAT THIS SPRING. APPARENTLY, THE TREES TO
THE SOUTH OF THE HOUSE, TO SUMMIT STREET, WILL STAY. I'VE HEARD
THEY ARE NOT AS OLD AS THE ONES BEING CHOPPED DOWN. ACROSS THE STREET TO THE EAST OF HIS HOUSE, LAST YEAR TOM PLANTED ROWS AND
ROWS OF WALNUT TREES.
MAQUOKETA...THE TIMBER CITY!
CLICK-ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM AND ENJOY AN APPLE TONIGHT.
