I thought the story of Welsh fruit growing was neglected when we started the work on @ApplesCymru a decade ago. Welsh #veg growing is a whole other field of neglected...

Does anyone know of historic plant #nurseries in their part of Wales?
Newydd wneud apêl ar #GalwadCynnar - oes pobl yn gwybod am feithrinfeydd planhigion hanesyddol yn eu rhan nhw o Gymru?

"Most contemporary Welsh people would view these foods as foreign, even alien foods, but in their time they were widespread and important parts of the food culture..."

This means #apples in Wales 👇
(But: the right varieties in the right places)
I can second this.
Incidentally, correspondence with Andrew over the last ten years of middling to poor crops for him in Essex due to extreme weather+ drought are one of the many reasons why I think apple production might well shift west over next few decades.

"Their Eden is contrasted powerfully with the ecological deserts of most of today's #apple growing, and they make a compelling case for renewed efforts to wild up more of our #orchards."

My first ever amateur #keeve of mostly cv #Dabinett apples from the Gogerddan Orchard, racked on a perfect cold high pressure December day. Cap brun looks a bit holey, juice clear, prickly, sweet and tannic (1.010; 5.1%) - fingers-crossed #cidre #capbrun #cider

What do you make of this story?
On the one hand, it's depressing: there is nothing special about this #apple as there are hundreds like it found every year. So to run it as a news story is misleading+bad for scientific literacy.
But on the other hand...

Why stories about apple finds are not all they seem...
Pam bod rhaid gochel rhag straeon am hen #afalau yn cael eu 'ail-ddarganfod'...
