James Mason Hutchings planted several orchards in Yosemite mostly containing apple trees but some cherry trees can be found. Hutchings also planted a row of American elms along the route of the present road that crosses the meadow north of the present Sentinel Bridge. <br />
These were grown from seed supplied by Rev. Joseph Worcester of Waltham, Massachusetts.<br />
