A celebration of Apples and Orchards hosted by Lincolnshire Organic Gardeners’ Organisation (LOGO)
East of England Apples & Orchards Project (EEAOP) will support with its display of 20 local Lincolnshire apple varieties as well as over 100 more from other counties in the east of England.
The EEAOP team of experts will be offering apple identification, putting names to any unidentified fruits whilst also on the lookout for any previously unrecorded and any ‘lost’ or Lincolnshire varieties.
To help with identification please bring along 3 typical examples of fruits plus a few leaves.
If your tree is more than 50 years old there’s a chance you may have one of the potentially ‘lost’ Lincolnshire varieties such as Old Man, Garrett’s Golden Pippin, Stoup’s Leadington.
