Talk:Johnny Appleseed/@comment-798525-20191201135059

Ironically enough, the real Johnny Appleseed couldn't use technique like grafting or using cuttings from another tree. Instead, he produced apples only fit for winemaking. In doing so, however, saved a lot of lives, as the water in those days was full of highly poisonous algae. His religious faith prevented him from doing anything other than planting seeds.
