We sing to thee old apple tree

Grow strong and fare-thee-well my friend
while merry we will be.
Everyone will take a sip
and toast your health old tree!

Wassailing (aka drinking to the good health of) the spirit of the Apple Orchard is an old custom hailing from the Western cider-producing region of England. Meant to wake the orchard from its winter sleep, noisy wassailers also endeavoured to scare away evil spirits, thus ensuring a bountiful harvest in the Fall.
