Wild apple trees

Robert from Poraiti

Hi I am starting a project of trying to protect wild seedling apple trees or ones that may be growing that don’t get any attention and trying to protect our heritage varieties around the Hawke’s bay. If anyone knows of any apple trees that they have been found on walks or farms or properties or old orchards that are neglected that could be grafted and helped to keep going. Please I would really like to know and try to protect these. I would appreciate any help. And if you could pass on to friends and others around our district that would be great. Thanks lots.

Please call the number in the photo if you see Spot. He is desperately missed by his family ❤️🐈💔 He is missing from Napier but could be anywhere as he has been known to hop in cars plus he has been missing 4 weeks now.
