One orchard in upstate New York holds nearly every apple America ever grew, and mails you a piece for free. The USDA runs it as the Plant Genetic Resources Unit in Geneva, New York, with over six thousand accessions across 55 species, including wild relatives from expeditions to Kazakhstan in the 1990s. Growers can request cuttings at no cost, letting a backyard tree carry an apple gone from stores a century ago. Rare varieties are worth saving.
