Join Tycho Holcomb and Karoline Nolsø Aaen on the journey to the Wild Apple Forests of Kazakhstan. The heart of genetic apple diversity, and the origin of apples.
Look at how dry everything is. The roots reach deep into the soil and subsoil to get water in the summer. The apples probably have very high nutritional value without any fertilizer.
That makes sense for cannabis because the indigenous peoples of Central Asia are indo European/indo Iranian people such as the Scythians and sarmatians. They are known to consume cannabis
Hey dear friend. You are so lucky you were there! :D Was looking for origin of apricot and found your video. Such a beutiful example of a forest garden, vaaaauuuuu. :)
I assume the new perma-trend will be to grow hops near apple trees right now. I'll do it next season so I will proudly say 'hey ! I did it before it was cool'
Please can you explore some more Wildwood Forest it sounds amazing I would love to do this in Scotland with a lot of unused pieces of land but don't know how to get started can fallen apples start to grow and make new apple trees itself or do the seeds need to be planted directly into the ground I wonder if I could create something like this in Scotland in unused pieces of land
@@kifer2594 thank you very much I started January last year me and my little boy have planted probably around about 100 seeds all different apple varieties some plum cherry pear who knows what will grow but it would be nice to have something for future generations and it would last it would be nice to have a natural wild Forest just fitting seeds directly into the ground to see what happens and an unused piece of land
people encouraged the apples over generations, those people are long gone and their way of life. The forests will also be gone soon, thankfully, they are spread around the world now.
@@thekraken1173 people influenced them to grow, by cutting out other plants around them and spread the seeds when they use them. Stop liking your own comments you weirdo
It is said that - Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, Zarathushtra Spitama or Ashu Zarathushtra, was thought to be an ancient Iranian prophet, once lived in an Apple forest.
Hello, if you don't mind, please let me use some short clip ( about 5 - 10 seconds ) from your video to put into ours, We will state clearly that it is from your channel. Thank you very much if this is possible
I question the natural nature of this. Sure it may be natural because it's been unattended for thousands of years but his concentration of edibles I find unlikely unless man cultivated it, be it on this scale purposefully at one point or inadvertently growing into one large mass due to independent dispersed agriculture.
this region is called the father of apples. the golden delicious has the widest genome of any other documented apple and its closely related to Malus sieversii. there are apples in this region that do not suggest breeding that created modern apples. bc they self pollinate, I suspect these truly are natural native. there used to be whole ranges, now only plots due to development.
There's a research station tree farm in Geneva N.Y. USA operated by Cornell University and the New York Apple Research and Development Program. They have many, many trees from the Kazahkstan wild apple forests that were brought as both young saplings and started from seeds. They are all different, and a big part of why they were planted at the station was the realization that these wild forests were being destroyed. If you contact them, they will send you a packet of seeds from the fruit of these trees in the fall, and you can germinate seeds to grow your own "prehistoric apple trees". I have a tree from this seed program growing in my small acreage.
God bless Kazakhstan. Really god bless the entire world
Even the sound is quieter in Kazakhstan, very nice.
Really enjoyed this, its nice to see people still care about original varieties. I wouldve loved to explore this forest and be at peace there.

I love Kazakhsthan. I want to taste those apples
Kazakstan birthplace of apples, tulips and cannabis.

Awesome 💚 nice greetings from Austria

I crave apples 🍎 all the time!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing
Sadly we can't hear you. It looks like a great informative video though!

Going there soon! 🌷🌷🌷

It would take a century for it to mature but it’s doable

Great Brother 🌷🌷🎹🎹💚💚❤❤🎤🎤🎼🎼🌿🌿💒💒🌱🌱
beautiful forest
I just imagine it was planted during the great migratory horsemen era as a refueling point for calories centuries ago hahaha
Beautiful! What fruit trees can be grown in Kazakhstan?
I am from India ❤️ ❤️
I wanna go there

These are wild, nothing about the people.

It’s gotta be the garden of Eden
inspiring video
Almaty Kazakhstan 🍎🍎🍏🍏
Really interesting. you have a very funny hat 😊
How do I get some wild apple seeds from that country?
So it would be hard to starve there and the party will be crazy 🤪 beer n cider gallore 😂😂
May be this is a original video
How about tiger and mountain lion?
Have any attempts been made to graph them to rootstock here in America?

yes
you don't need to graft them; they produce offspring that are similar to their parents.
@@Sagitarria apple trees don't work like that
NeoSilvanus that’s the whole excitement around the Kazakh trees.
Have you collected any seeds? :D
I' love to live in a hobbit house in that place.
Audio is really bad
Why you talk too much and we can't hear you clearly...it's not audible
Your sound volume is very low...
I couldn’t here him over eating my apple😂
Speak up
I don't think this is wild..well kinda b c human lots of years ago planted all them fruits together.
get a decent mic applebro
I bet you could cure many diseases -even some cancers just by eating these wild apples
No that would be a miracle
Sound check! Sound check! You are not being heard. You have no sound. I'm gonna thumb this video down just because you have no audio.
watch for more than 30 seconds
@@NeoSilvanus i have watched for over a minute n a half and dude is still whispering
beautiful forest
