Get it while it's ripe!
Green Apple Cleaners is sponsoring an initiative to provide 25 sets
of
apple trees to NYC gardens. First come, first served.
There are actually 2 trees--one Newtown Pippin and another apple
variety to pollinate (and eat).
They want to get the trees planted in the next two weeks.
