I'm searching for good keepers for winter storage. Seems none of the stores have any of the older varieties. I know there was a very knowledgeable woman in the Fraser Valley (sorry I forgot her name) that had a fantastic selection but I have no contact info. Any ideas where to find these? Thanks.
This year's Apple Festival at UBC Botanical Gardens (Oct 17 & 18) will be a good place to find out about and/or purchase heritage varieties of apple trees.
I try to visit the festival every year and can never get out there. But it is a dream for sure! Any other sources? Thanks again.
Fruit nut I think you mean Derry Walsh try Derry's Orchard & Nursery in Aldergrove http://derrysorchardandnursery.ca/index.html
