The Ontario Heritage and Feral Apple Project  

Plant Population & Evolution Research Lab

There are apples everywhere. Some are under cultivation; some once were but are now abandoned; some are feral seedlings. We can't keep track of them all, but we'd be interested in knowing about the following:

• abandoned orchards (submit an orchard form)

• trees of historical interest, or notable for other reasons (form). PLEASE NOTE: If you are submitting a tissue sample, please use the form mentioned in Step 4 of the "Test my Tree" procedure.

If you'd like to tell us about some old orchards or notable trees, please fill the forms indicated above to the best of your ability. Then you can send us an email (pkron@uoguelph.ca) telling us about the trees, with the form attached.

We'll map out these sites and hopefully use them in future research.
