01:37So come with us on this small little journey as we harvest, as we dig, as we pick, as we
01:45learn.
01:47That was not bad. I mean, that wasn't bad. I mean, off the top of my head.
01:51Call out the instigators
01:56Because there's something in the air
02:01We've got to get together sooner or later
02:06Because the revolution's here
02:12And you know it's why
02:20We have got to get it together now
02:35Apples. What do we know about apples?
02:37Well, they taste delicious. There's a lot of varieties.
02:40There's a lot of folklore around that. Not yet.
02:44There's a lot of folklore around apples
02:46From Adam and Eve
02:47Sir Isaac Newton
02:49Applebee's
02:51But much like
02:52But much like gravity
02:53Can you just do it again? But just make
02:55Fast. It needs to be succinct right in the hand
02:58So much folklore
02:59From Adam and Eve
03:01To Sir Isaac Newton to Applebee's
03:03But much like gravity itself
03:05Sometimes we take apples
03:06That was good. Sometimes we take apples for granted
03:09Let's talk apples
03:12Bite it and then you
03:17Hey, what's your name?
03:18Grayson
03:19I'm Zach
03:20Hey, Zach
03:21I think you can just call me Zach
03:23I have a friend called Zach
03:25Is he pretty cool?
03:27Uh-uh
03:30What's your name?
03:31I like those shoes
03:32They light up shoes, too
03:34They light up?
03:35Let me press down
03:36You know, if you push a button here
03:38On my shoe
03:38It calls a nurse
03:41How old are you?
03:42Seven
03:43I'm 52
03:44I'm old and decrepit
03:45And I have a grotesque body

03:57Yeah
03:57Yes
03:58I'm going to read a list of names
04:00And you tell me if these are real apples
04:02Or fake apples, okay?
04:03Okay

04:14Yes
04:15Diarrhea Town
04:16Maybe
04:20You think that Diarrhea Town
04:23It might be the name of an apple?
04:25No
04:27Does your future worry you at all
04:29Or are you okay with it?
04:30I'm okay with it
04:31Yeah
04:43So
04:44What's your favorite color?
04:46Orange
04:49I didn't think you understood me
04:51You understood what I said?
04:52What's your favorite color?
04:53Mm-hmm
04:54Do you want applesauce?
05:01Mm-hmm
05:02Do you know how Ryan Reynolds is?
05:05Mm-mm
05:05Nobody does
05:07Have you ever bobbed for apples?
05:09Mm-mm
05:10You know what's a bad idea?
05:11Bobbing for turds
05:13Okay
05:14Do you know any good jokes?
05:16Why did the apple cross the street?
05:18Why?
05:18Because they want to go poo poo
05:22Why did the apple cross the street?
05:25Because it wanted to go poo-poo.
05:28Mm-hmm.
05:29Do you work with Joe Rogan?
05:32Do you have brothers and sisters?
05:34Three brothers and one sister.
05:35Okay.
05:36Do any of them eat apples?
05:37They all love apples.
05:38Your grandparents?
05:39Do you know what they like?
05:40Aunts and uncles?
05:41Yes.
05:42Cousins?
05:42Yes.
05:42Oh, my gosh.
05:43The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
05:47Just say that was good.
05:48That was good.
05:50Do you know anybody that doesn't like apples?
05:52A kid over there named Eli with the pink shirt.
05:57He doesn't like apples?
05:58Yeah, he hates apples.
06:02Well, we got to talk to him.
06:04Yeah.
06:09She hates apples.
06:16Hi, Zach.
06:18Nice to meet you.
06:19You don't like apples.
06:20Tell us why.
06:22Um, it's because, um, last time that I ate an apple, um, it made one of my tooth wiggly.
06:30But, but do you like the taste of an apple?
06:33I like the taste, but I just don't like getting my tooth wiggly.
06:36Do you know when you might eat an apple again?
06:38Well, I have one in my lunch.
06:39Well, are you going to eat it today?
06:41No.
06:41Then why did you bring it?
06:42I didn't.
06:43Who packed it?
06:44My dad.
06:44Your dad doesn't know your apple intolerance?
06:46I pack my own lunch.
06:48You do?
06:48Yeah.
06:49At your age?
06:50Yeah.
06:50My monkey children, you know what I gave them this morning?
06:53What?
06:53They get to split a raisin.
06:57You guys ever bob for apples?
06:58Yes.
06:59No.
06:59You know what's a really bad thing?
07:01What?
07:01Bobbing for poops.
07:03Not that funny.
07:04Somewhat funny.
07:05How is it funny, though?
07:06Well, the idea is that why would anybody bob for poops?
07:10Well, how is it funny, though?
07:12Well, I think a lot of humor comes from...
07:14How is it funny, though?
07:14It's funny.
07:15How is it funny, though?
07:15It's what gets people laughing.
07:17How is it funny, though?
07:18Jinx?
07:19How is it funny, though?
07:19How is it funny, though?
07:20How is it funny?
07:21You guys were great.
07:49Now I'm going to go talk to...
07:51Now I'm going to go talk with Daniel.
07:52Now I'm going to go talk with Daniel from Fruit Course Month.
07:57Now I'm going to go...
07:58Now I'm going to go talk apples with Daniel from Fruit Course Month.
08:03Now I'm going to go talk to Daniel.
08:05It's not her name.
08:16Welcome to Fruit Forest Farm.
08:17Thanks for having me.
08:18I'm Zach.
08:19Hi, Zach.
08:20I'm Danielle.
08:21So how long have you been here?
08:23Just eight and a half years.
08:24I wanted to focus on things that taste good and that grow well.
08:29But you see, we've got lots of varieties.
08:31We've got 34 varieties.
08:33You guys, can you...
08:36Danielle's trying to...
08:37They're our workers.
08:38They mow the orchard for me and they poop.
08:41So they give nutrition back into the soil.
08:46These are our liberties.
08:48They grow up really fast.
08:49They produce apples really fast.
08:51And they don't get very tall.
08:52And I'm afraid of heights, so I don't want to be on a ladder all the time.
08:55You're afraid of heights, just a ladder?
08:57Yeah, terrible.
08:58Can you go in a bunk bed?
09:00Yes, I can go in a bunk bed.
09:02Okay.
09:03Did you get these from old seeds or old trees?
09:08So in each of these apples, they'll have maybe, say, 20 seeds.
09:13Each of them will be a completely different variety.
09:14Most of them will look more like a crab apple, be kind of woody.
09:18They won't taste very sweet and nobody will want to eat them.
09:22In order to make another liberty, you have to get a branch from that tree to graft onto a rootstock
09:28of another tree.
09:29And every single liberty came from that original seed that created that variety.
09:34For instance, if we wanted to make another liberty, we could take this branch, cut it off, and put it
09:39on the roots of another tree.
09:41And then eventually, that will take over and be the tree.
09:45So all the liberties are clones from that original seed.
09:48The only way to get a good-tasting apple is grafting.
09:52That's right.
09:53No one knows that, do they?
09:55Not many people know it.
09:56I mean, to be honest, I didn't know that.
09:57And I'm embarrassed of myself for not knowing.
10:00No, I would say 99% of people don't know.
10:02Yeah, but I don't want to be like these jokes.
10:04Okay, fair enough, fair enough.
10:05Okay, so, almost fainted.
10:09Um, I had a really good question.
10:14Danielle, let's graft.
10:16Okay, so there's two ways of making a new tree.
10:19In dormant time, like around March here on the coast, you graft.
10:23You take the rootstock and you put a healthy branch on top and you make a new tree.
10:28But in the summertime, you do something called budding.
10:33So this is a dormant bud.
10:35I just slice it off.
10:37And you want lots of what's green under here, which is called phloem.
10:43Phloem is like the blood of the tree.
10:45And that's just underneath the bark.
10:46And that's that nice green color.
10:48The blood of the tree.
10:50Yeah, that's where all the sugars can transport back and forth.
10:53Xylem is the skeleton of the tree.
10:55It's the wood.
10:57You probably remember that from biology in grade nine.
11:00Uh, I probably do, yeah.
11:04So let's make a new tree.
11:05Okay.
11:06So take your bud and kind of give a little bit of a tracing.
11:11Yeah.
11:11And so now I can peel just the bark right off.
11:14I want it to basically match this shape.
11:17So trace it like that.
11:18I'm moving my hands.
11:19Not that I don't trust you.
11:20No, it was a good move.
11:21I can't guarantee that I won't slice your finger on.
11:25Oh.
11:26That's pretty good.
11:27You don't cover the bud.
11:29There you go.
11:30So that's it.
11:31That's it.
11:32Once this bonds with the tree, it will suck sugars and water from the tree itself.
11:39And this little bud will grow a new tree.
11:43And you'll cut it from how much, how far up?
11:46So it has to be above where this tree was grafted.
11:51Like, if you were an apple tree, I could cut your head off, cut my head off, put my head
11:56on you, and I would basically just be using your body.
12:00But it would be me.
12:01If you had my body, your life would be so easy.
12:05I should tell you about the lower back tattoos I have that are, they haven't kept up with the times,
12:09let's say.
12:12Okay, this is fascinating to me.
12:14If I had read about grafting, I would have been intimidated.
12:18But the fact that you just showed it.
12:20The fact that I can do it, honestly, I'm the most uncoordinated person.
12:24Well, that's what I feel like.
12:25I can't do anything.
12:26But this.
12:27When it worked, I was like, holy crap.
12:33Yeah, watch out.
12:34You guys see those, right?
12:35Yeah, we see them.
12:36You see them?
12:37I got stung by one the other day, and I played cello.
12:40I couldn't play.
12:41You play the cello, too?
12:42Yeah.
12:43Do you ever come out here and play with the apples?
12:44No.
12:45Because that's good for growth.
12:46No.
12:47I don't play.
12:48I love the cello.
12:50So when you want to pick an apple and you want to see whether or not it's ready, you go
12:54against the grain and you push up and pull.
12:57See, this one is not coming off.
12:59It's still really held on to the tree.
13:01So if you grab the apple and just go.
13:03Oh, wow.
13:04Do you want to try one?
13:04Should I?
13:05Yeah.
13:06Look at that.
13:07Like magic.
13:09Boy, is it sweet.
13:11This is called the.
13:12Sabina.
13:14Oh, that's good.
13:15We're going into a golden gala now.
13:18Yeah, these come right off.
13:20Look at this.
13:23I don't know.
13:24I have another one.
13:25Yeah, have another.
13:26How much are these?
13:30Boy, these are really good apples.
13:31All of them.
13:33Cheers.
13:33Chin, chin.
13:35God, I could die right now.
13:36I'm going to be very happy.
13:37Danielle, thanks so much for all this.
13:39This is really.
13:40You're welcome.
13:40Sincerely, thank you.
13:41I learned a lot.
13:42I'm glad you got to taste some real apples.
13:43Thank you, Danielle.
13:44You're welcome.
13:45I'm going to just head out this way.
13:47Do you have a toilet?
13:48I do.
13:49Do you have a toilet?
13:51Couldn't just shake hands and say thanks.
14:03Despite having the knowledge for grafting,
14:05early American settlers found it was better
14:07to plant apples for drinking, not for eating.
14:11Hard apple cider provided a safe drinking source
14:13compared to the rivers and streams
14:15that could be full of dangerous bacteria.
14:19It's reported the settlers drank
14:21an average of two glasses of hard cider per day.
14:24Honest question here.
14:25Why didn't they just drink squirt or Mountain Dew?
14:28And by the way, Dew off a mountain also.
14:33Okay, loser's got to bob for turds.
14:36Ready?
14:37Go.
14:43I have a cousin that drowned this way.
14:44I have a cousin that drowned this way.
15:09I don't want to do that.
15:12Well, the toilet is clean.
15:38Happy grafting.
15:39And remember, the future is agrarian.
