John Bunker is an American legend when it comes to Apples and Apple Trees. He is the founder of the mail order nursery Fedco Trees, a division of the cooperative Fedco Seeds. John is well known for his art which can be found in every Fedco catalogue. For most of his life, he has worked to preserve rare old apple varieties from across Maine and the New England region.
