Apple identification

If you want to know what the old apple tree in your garden is then you can ask the expert pomologist and fruit historians. Joan Morgan, author of The New Book of Apples, will be on hand to identify apples. Please bring three or more good quality fruits and a few leaves of each unknown variety.
