The apple has been called the loveliest of all fruits. It is also one of the most important agricultural crops grown in Henderson County. During a normal year it brings in an average income of $22 million dollars or more.

Henderson County ranks seventh in production among all counties in the United States. The county grows 65 percent of all the apples grown in the state. If the number of apples from a normal crop grown in the county were laid abreast, they would reach from Hendersonville to Tokyo and return.
