We thought it would be fitting to honor this old apple in candle form so we made a mold using a real lady apple from Silver Creek Nursery, the fruit tree nursery we keep some hives at. It is a small apple, almost crab sized, so it is tiny and cute and still has a 15 hour burn time!!
🍎The Lady apple is synonymous with holidays and has a long history of use for decorating trees (ornaments or garlands) as well as use in wreath making. 🍎It is also known as Pomme d'Api - the oldest recognized apple variety under that name - originally documented during early Rome under Etruscan rule, around 700BC!! 🍎The first time it was called Lady was during the French Renaissance in 1628, and it became naturalized in America during the 1800's.
We offer these with a special tag that says one of the following three phrases:
"You are the apple of my eye."
"Appley ever after."
"I'd apple-y be in your class forever."
We apple-y do custom phrases as well, just connect with us via our contact form, here.
