The Giant Apple in Edgerton is located next to I-90. Red Apple Enterprises occupies what looks like a former gas station at the tower's base. The Red Apple Car Wash was located here previously. The tower probably supported the gas station's sign originally. Does anyone know how long this apple has been here or more about it? There was another giant apple on a trailer behind the building which is gone now. For more, see this website. [map]

Big Apple

The plans for the Giant Tomato in Leamington, ON were adapted for the construction of this building. In 2014, the Apple was put up for sale. However, public reaction has been so strong that the structure will probably stay or be moved. It was still there in 2021. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
