I live in an area rich with history of a family that grew apples and pear trees (there is also a direct connection to Laura Secord and how the company trafficked wartime information into/out of the country via chocolate treat deliveries). It must have been a super wealthy family because the neighbourhood is huge, and you can still find apple trees literally everywhere.
One particular school has a veritable grove with massive apple trees that the students surely must love in the autumn. One particular pear tree near my house has a surprise feature of growing both the expected pears AND inosculated branches that sprout mini-pears that appear to be from a completely different breed.
I imagine that the Lost Apple Project would be interested in the area and what grows around here.
