RE: IRDP and Tangwystl Cottage present: the history of my heritage tree
Wonderful history on your heritage apple tree! I'm impressed with the amount of info you were able to uncover. I'm sure you will re-tell this tree's history many times to visitors at your cottage. We visit our local farmers market which has some great heritage apples and pears. Great post @ravenruis
Thank you. :)
What I'd like to figure out is how best to display some info on each tree I have so I can tell at a glance its name, needs, basic background etc. Perhaps I'll turn my backyard into a botanical museum, lol.
It really is good to know there are people out there offering the heritage fruits & veges for sale - without their diversity so much would be lost, and there would be such a great decrease in the genetic strength of the plants left. (Same with animals, etc) So much has dropped away in favour of the more commercially convenient lines.
