Tower House Historic District Interim Orchard Management Plan As early as 1853, numerous fruit and nut trees were planted and maintained by Levi Tower on the grounds of the Tower House Hotel. During this period, the orchards and gardens were revered for their beauty and were often considered an important component of Tower's "showplace" hotel. Today, over 150 years later, some of these very trees still thrive, producing heirloom fruit varieties which are hard to find today. This management plan discusses the history of these trees, the current status of the orchards, treatment methods, and the stabilization and preservation maintenance plans and recommendations to allow these trees to continue on in perpetuity. |
