Hi,

 

     Would this be the AppleKey that was mentioned?  When using a search engine, try using more than one term, such as:   AppleKey fruit   .

Richard,
They also make great sherbet mixed with milk, fruit leather mixed with applesauce, jam and as Chalie says, pies. They're loaded with antho-cyanins and have great cancer fighting properties. I agree that it's crazy to ban them. There's also a golden one that is less astringent and good for eating out of hand. Hector Black, zone 6 middle TN

Richard,
Not quite. You didn't pick Buffalo Berries, you picked Autumn Olive [Eleagnus Umbellata], a tall-bush, nitrogen-fixing fruiting shrub that on June 1 in the State of Massachusetts became illegal to propagate due to it being labelled by eco-conscious anti-progress elements as "invasive" . Unfortunately, the govt. had this eco-conscious plant-hostility in progress and enacted the law before I became aware of their hostility, otherwise I would have shown up somewhere to speak in opposition to the proposed law.

What you can do with the berries - you may have already discovered some taste better than others - I used to estimate about 1 out of 10 was good and 1 out of 100 was outstanding. But there may be more good than 1 out of 10 and this appears to be an exceptional year. You can put the raw berries in a wide slow-moving blender like a Kitchenaid, run them less than one minute on the slowest speed to separate seed from pulp, then put them through a fruit press so the best goes through and the seeds remain behind the press screen. Then you can put them in a crust with a sweetening such as raisins or date...freeze it..take it out eat it as a frozen pie....yum....really good.

I consider it my responsibility as a fruit explorer to go out and select from among Massachusett's Eleagnus, it was planted originally by the Mass Highway to hold the soil on banks, that's how it got to Mansfield. Our apples are alien, and invasive....how come they didn't make them illegal to propagate? Huh....drives me nuts, the stupidity, here's this plant trying to help us rebuild soil nitrogen, idiots make it illegal. Unbelievable. So far as I know its still legal to pick them, so I'll continue doing that and its good I started propagating them last year and got some takes before propagating them became illegal. I need to apply for an exception permit.

Hi Guys;



I just picked a quart of Buffalo Berries of the side of the highway.

Route 495 in Mansfield, MA.



What should I do with them?



Appreciate any thoughts.



Richard Murphy



PS. They are mass planted along miles of highway here.

There are thousands of these plants, loaded with berries.

If anyone lives in Washington state, or can go there very soon, there
is a need to have someone go to Don Balser's place there and collect
nuts.
I was contacted by Theodore Danicki in New Jersey who says that Rutgers
wants to plant walnuts from Don's collection to screen the seedlings
for disease resistance and quality. Don, unfortunately, has reached
the point where he is unable to work the trees any more and can't
collect the nuts. He is going to have to sell his place next year. So
someone is needed who could go to Mt. Vernon, Washington to collect the
nuts. His full address is 1458 Donnelly Rd., Mt. Vernon, WA 98273
If you can help, the contact address is:

Attention, Sarah Baxter
You can contact her at Sarah@rci.rutgerts.edu.

Thank you.

Tanis,
Would you be a bit more specific about "AppleKey"? I plugged in
'AppleKey' and all I got was information about MacIntosh computers. I tried
"Apple Key" and got the same.

I posted this in Dec '05, after receiving it from another lister who was
having
trouble posting to the list. Don't know if it's still available. I was
never able
to try it, so don't know how helpful it is/ was.
--------------------


"... There are also many internet sites that are relevant. Probably the
most useful
when working with an unknown apple is a program which can be downloaded from
the
internet (requires Microsoft Access 97 or 2002). Asking Google for AppleKey
will
lead to it."
