This tree was developed by the Joseph Pennock family prior to 1776, in Pennsylvania. It was marketed throughout the northeastern part of the US. It was praised as being a flavorful apple and was marketed in Philadelphia to good reviews from the local newspaper. In 1776, the Pennock family moved to New York state, taking a large number of apple trees with them. There is another apple, quite distinct from this one, called Winter Pennock, also developed by the Pennock family. While the Early Pennock gained in popularity in the North, the Winter Pennock was grown in various areas south of Pennsylvania. It was popular in areas over 1,000 feet in elevation, where it thrived, and produced apples that were good keepers. It was actively sold in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Washington D.C. Seed Savers Exchange is one conservator of the Early Pennock apple today. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.47.56.162 (talk) 15:25, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
