Who was the pioneer who planted apple trees?
Probably John Chapman, though he didn't actually plant the trees; he sold the saplings for other people to plant. He got the nickname "Appleseed" because he started his business with seeds he collected from apple mash. In his day, apples weren't so much for eating as for making cider, and from it, applejack, a liquor. Today we have varieties grown for tastiness, but in Chapman's time, most apples were too bitter to munch on. His trees, however, improved somewhat on that condition.
Where did johnny plant his first apple tree?
Possibly in Leominster, Massachusetts. It should first be noted that Johnny Appleseed is a character from an American folk tale. He isn't real. But he seems to have been based on an actual person, John Chapman, born in Leominster MA in 1774. According to the folk tale, Johnny Appleseed wandered the United States, spreading apple seeds wherever he went. The story also says he planted his first tree somewhere in Massachusetts. To this day, Leominster (pronounced LEMM-inster) claims that Johnny's first apple tree was planted in their city. The reason they make that claim is because of John Chapman. He was indeed born in Leominster, and became a Christian missionary; in addition to his church work, he loved to plant gardens, especially nurseries where apple trees could flourish. In addition to growing apples in Massachusetts, Chapman was later credited with introducing the apple tree to various parts of the midwest, and at some point, the character of Johnny Appleseed was created to describe his efforts.
