Tompkins King
Apple cultivar / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Tompkins King' is a triploid[1] cultivar of apple, also called 'King' or 'King of Tompkins County'. It was thought to have originated at Jacksonville in Tompkins County, New York, but Liberty Hyde Bailey investigated the tree there, and discovered that it was grafted.[2] The cultivar was apparently brought from Warren County, New Jersey in 1804.[2]
