Ready to grow a piece of apple history? This is one of our public experiments! We got this 2nd generation unknown apple from the homestead of living legend JL Hudson seed company proprietor. Though what we have is not a 100% genetic match to 'M sieversii' , we believe it is closely related to that ancient progenitor of the modern apple. M. sieversii hails from Central Asia’s Tian Shan mountains and is a genetic treasure. Its seeds, were brought to North America by 17th-century colonists and later by USDA expeditions (1989–1996) to preserve its disease-resistant traits. The parent of our offering was Planted at JL's boyhood home by a carpenter doing some fence mending 50+ years ago. It's a magic apple tree! Help us spread its genetics far and wide.
From JLHudson: "The town I grew up in, where the apple was in my folk's back yard in Redwood City, not a very nice name. The story was that one of the construction workers who built the house planted an apple core there. We lived on Virginia Avenue, so I sometimes called it the Virginia apple, just to people who knew the house and tree, but that makes it sound like it came from that state. It looks most like the old Macoun apple, but who knows? Just a wild guess, so probably best not to call it that. The tree lived 70-some years before it finally died, but there was a root-sprout coming along pretty nice last time I was there. Don't know if the new owners will keep it or not. For a while a few years back it made these big burl-like things around the base, covered with buds, but my mother's caretaker finally grubbed them out.
The apples are generally small and abundant, but do reach a reasonable size if thinned. They are red with a brown blush at the stem end, and often have a "glassy" transparent center that is very sweet. I loved them as a kid. I planted out the ones I had in pots last fall, and they are doing well."
The seeds need 90-180 days of cold stratification to germinate, but the payoff is worth it—unique, second-generation trees from an apple core’s legacy. Are they self-fertile? We’re not sure, but in urban settings, you’re covered. Crabapples (Malus coronaria, M. fusca, M. angustifolia, M. ioensis) and other apple trees abound, and pollinators like bees ensure cross-pollination. No need for two trees if you have a smaller yard—nature’s got this! Need more proof? Look to our local olives that appear all over town to fruit without a partner tree. Expect small apples, maybe tart “spitters,” but they’ll produce fruit. The real win? Preserving genetics through trial and error. These trees grow well from seed, offering a badass way to connect with apple origins. Our efforts at preservation are exciting, and with winged pollinators on the job, fruition is certain—*wink*. Join the movement, plant one of these apple trees, and grow a legacy that could reshape apple diversity. Save your seeds, experiment, and let’s see what grows!

Thank You Qiiiiian For Creating Such a Touch & Resilient Dog Toy
Color: Brown
This Qiiiiiian Squeaky Dog Toy is AMAZING!! My Heeler Maggie, goes through toys like water through a sieve. She either hates it and ignores it or loves it to pieces, literally. She tears her toys apart to get the squeaker out and then it ends up in the garbage. This toy has been with her now for over 2 weeks!! That is a record in this house, no other toy has ever survived this long! This large platypus toy is made from very durable materials. It is very well made and stitched securely showing no weakness. Filled with crinkle paper inside, and so far she hasn't torn it open, so I'm still so amazed by this! Talk about tough. Heeler may not have the hardest bite force but they sure are stubborn and one they decide that they are toy destroyers, good luck to any toy that arrives here, except for this platypus toy by Qiiiiian. She has almost given up, and now just sleeps with it, which I must admit, it's absolutely adorable. I never knew she had a soft & gentle side. This toy is priced much lower than expected for the quality and durability. Yes, I've ordered 4 more for friends and family, and one for her, just in case. At prices like this, toy cannot go wrong for such a large durable, well made dog toy that is both chew-resistent and Heller Proof!

I'd buy again
Color: Purple
My dog loves this. The legs are curled in and stretch a good distance making it perfect for her playing by herself or playing tug of war! So far it's been pretty sturdy but I've only had it a week. My dog is a yellow lab and the size has been good for her

Over all a great toy!
Color: Red A, Color: Red A
This is a nice functional toy that doesn’t cost a whole lot. My dog has played many times with my husband: fetch, tug and just chewing on this reindeer. It also has several textures for him: smooth felt antlers and nose, rougher feet and hands( filled with squeakers, bumpy skin and its arms and legs can be pulled through the body. Just a great toy to be interactive and it can be machine washed. It is one I would buy again!

My dog loves it
Color: Brown
My dog loves this toy. It's the only toy I've seen her excited about. The only setback is that the squeaker only lasted for a few minutes. It is very well made. It is adorable.

Great small hide & seek toy for small dogs.
Color: 4 Pack, Color: 4 Pack
If you have a very small dog or puppy this is great value for the money. My girl was tired after playing with it. The material and sticking are well made. Each little animal toy that you stuff inside the tree have squeakers and are well made. This is NOT for large dogs or power chewers but you got a small dog it is great. Most hide & seek toys like this are very expensive.
