     o show at least 100 fruit trees at least five feet tall

Clarifications:
- Apples from a neighbor don’t count here.  
- Apples from a homestead that has been abandoned for at least five years does count.  
- Apples oddly growing in a place where there has never been any cultivation counts too (probably a discarded apple core led to the tree).  
- Apples that are the result of guerilla gardening do count.
