Guest: Kevin Maloney of Cornell*
Two Sessions on: Wed. August 18, 2010
1-3:00 PM @ Forrence and Northern Orchards, Peru, NY
6:30 - 8:00 PM @ Bowman's Orchard, Rexford, NY.
Yes, the harvest of early varieties has, or likely will be beginning,
by August 18, but when is the best time to view some of the
contenders in the Cornell Apple Breeding Program? When there is fruit
to see!
Steal an hour or so away with Kevin Maloney, who works with Cornell
Apple Breeder Dr. Susan Brown on the
reviews and field evaluations of the myriad crosses undertaken by the
Breeding Program. The point is reached when promising crosses are
established in cooperating orchards around the state so that the new
apples might be evaluated over a diversity of conditions and
locations. Kevin Maloney will introduce us to some of these apples at
our sessions on August 18, including NY1 and NY2.
The Plan:
At Peru at 1:00 PM, we will meet in the parking lot of the Forrence
Packing House on Route 22. We will then carpool to tree locations.
(Directions: Forrence: Northway exit 35 - Bear Swamp Rd. Go east on
Bear Swamp to Peru. Left at Rt 22, continue approximately 3/4 mi.
The Packing House is on the left.)
At Rexford at 6:30 PM, we will meet in the retail parking area of Bowman's.
(Directions: Bowman's: From the Northway, take Clifton Park Exit 8A
(Grooms Rd.). Follow Grooms Rd. westbound into Grooms Corners. At
Grooms Corners take a left on Sugar Hill Rd. Proceed about two miles
to Bowman's Orchard on the left side.)
