The Finger Lakes Fruit Heritage Project is hosting Apple Identification and Documentation Days during Cider Week Finger Lakes 2016. The project is gathering information about the history of fruit growing in our region and invites the public to participate.  Share your stories and learn about your apple trees.

Find your Fruit:

Do you have an old orchard or apple tree on your property? Do you want to know what the apples are? Come to our Apple Identification Day at Reisinger’s Apple Country to learn about your fruit from our pomologist panel including Dr. Greg Peck of Cornell University and John Reynolds of Blackduck Cidery, and tell your fruit stories at the Documentation Booth. In cooperation with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler County.

What to bring for Apple Identification:

• Bring 3-5 representative apples from each tree that you want to ID.
• Historical or horticultural  info about the tree
• Take home all apples and plant material that you bring – leave nothing at the orchard to avoid the spread of plant diseases
