Their apple blossom journey began when the Smiths made a trip to Washington, D.C. to see the cherry blossoms in bloom, and they wanted to bring the beauty home.

About 200 trees have been planted since the inception of Apple Blossoms for Appleton three years ago. Matthew said it's inspiring to see how the community has banded together to support the project.

They took the cherry blossom idea and reimagined it for Northeast Wisconsin: Apple blossoms for Appleton. Previously, the family planted trees in city parks to honor people who died. But right now ...

Each year apple blossoms for Appleton donates the trees and with the addition this year, they have now surpassed 1.25 miles of trees on the trail, adding to the beautification of the city.

Hey, by the way we’ve got these miles of trees that in bloom. You can go to DC, or you can go to Appleton,” said Michael Smith, with Apple Blossoms for Appleton.
