Hi,

As I understand it, the Temperate Apple Conservancy gathered up everything that they could find. Sad to say, varieties keep disappearing...

Back a few years, our local fruit group had a scion exchange. Everybody brought in the varieties that they could share, and we had tables and tables of varieties. We didn't keep track of what was available on any given exchange, and it changed from year to year. Looking back, I'd love to know what we had. Any chance you could post the PDF here? Please, oh please, oh please?

Warner King is new to me. I checked my files, and I see that dates from c1900 here in the PNW. How did you hear about it?

Cheers, katmendeux, likes history

I see that tree varieties keep disappearing without any solution.

Cruising around looking for Warner King scions; I came across a PDF of I'm assuming of what they sold years ago. They had a number of varieties I'd take. Where is this collection now???

  

I know there had been a compilation of the HOS Arboretum content, I wonder if that is the content you are referencing? The now Home Orchard Education Center is that collection brought forward. HOEC (spelled out with .org) is the path to their website.

  If you have somehow found a way into the old HOS website pages, somewhere in some forever- archived cloud bank... that would indeed be a find. Another recent thread referring to a Ted Swenson one of many scholarly listing of apple variety attributes ie., Blossom Time sequence for pollination (A, B, C, or D); tripolid attribute; to name a couple, some or another would have been parked in the deeper levels of that website.

This being true, the Temperate Orchard Conservancy, entered into a volunteer fueled project to clone the Botner Collection with Nicks complete approval. Much of that collection now resides at TOC, along with genetic material from other orchards and collections, and finds from the likes of The Lost Apple Project, among others. It is ongoing.     Also spelled out with no spaces TOC is a .org
