Hi-- 

a reply from my local Golden Gate chapter of the California Rare Fruit
Growers list group to this article (no I did not forward the message-- just
the link to the article) was this: 

"This summer when up in Maine and New Brunswick I saw many apparently
abandoned apple trees along the roads and wondered if anyone there is
cataloging the diversity, much as the southern apples have been cataloged.
I plan on checking with Maine's agriculture school's pomology folks to see
if there are any studies done or underway."


Another place with a great need to preserve heirloom fruit.
