Once upon a time the SF Bay Area grew loads & loads of fruit. I'm interested in finding out what varieties used to be grown here but I really don't know how to go about such research. I assume such records aren't just laying around at the public library. Should I be trying to see if there are any century-old nurseries around that still have records? Should I be talking to folks at UC Davis and other ag departments? I'm not even sure I have the time to do obscure research like this but I think it would be really interesting to find out.
