The Reasor Green apple was discovered as a wild seedling in the 1880s by nurseryman C.C. Davis in a neighbor's garden in Lee County, Virginia.
Davis took cuttings from the tree, grafted them, and listed the variety in his 1887 Silver Leaf Nurseries catalog. However, after the nursery closed in the early 1900s, the Reasor Green was considered to be extinct.
Decades later, in the late 1990s, Tim Hensley, a great-great-grandson of Davis and a collector of heritage fruit trees, began a search for the lost variety. He found that the land where the old nursery had been was now owned by a beef farmer named Hop Slemp, who, to Hensley's surprise, had a surviving Reasor Green apple tree on his property. As a result, the variety was saved and is once again available.
