Hello- I am looking for wild populations of Malus fusca, Pacific crabapple, along the pacific coast, California, Oregon, and Washington. I will be collecting fruits/seeds from mother trees to assess the genetic diversity and genetic structure of the species across its native geographic range as a part of my dissertation research at the University of Arizona. I will be collecting samples in the lower 48 during the first two weeks of October, so I hope there are still fruits! I would greatly appreciate any information anyone has on the species and on locations of wild populations. Please send me an email directly or respond to this posting. Thank You!
