About Apple Tree Day

Ends: Jan 06, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
Apple Tree Day is a British folk custom as ancient as Christmas and part of the celebration of epiphany. Of distinction is the practice of wassailing, or apple howling.
Wassail is a traditional word indicating the drinking to someone’s health, or on Apple Tree Day, drinking to the apple tree’s health.
Apple Tree wassails are sung to the apple trees and festivities are held in apple orchards on Twelfth Night Eve and Twelfth Night between January 5-6.
Celebrations include creating bonfires in apple orchards, wrapping favorite trees in ribbons, whacking apple trees whilst reciting poetry, drinking hard cider and pouring a portion of the cider on the roots of the trees to encourage a good harvest in the coming year.
Today it is most common for children to wassail in the apple orchard during the day with non-alcoholic cider. But, for adults it remains a reason to gather around the apple tree with noise makers and instruments (to wake up the trees from their winter slumber), swap stories and drink lots of hard cider…sharing a little with the tree.
