John Bunker
Black Oxford apple
- ... that John Bunker was inspired to propagate old apple tree varieties after encountering Black Oxford apples while managing the food co-op in Belfast, Maine? Source: “ When he was managing the Belfast Coop Store, a man named Ira Proctor brought in a couple of bushels of Black Oxford apples...This led to learning to graft and soon to collecting scion wood from anonymous trees around the area. The search has continued ever since.” MOFGA

Overall: 
Checks out. Just need to add an inline citation to the end of the block quotation paragraph. Ergo Sum 02:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review. I just added the citation to the end of the block quote. Thriley (talk) 02:36, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- I see you moved the citation from the end of the main text paragraph to end of the block quote, so I just restored a duplicate citation to where you had it initially. Everything checks out now. Ergo Sum 14:20, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
