Univ. WI publishes the magazine 'Wisconsin People and Ideas', website wisconsinacademy.org In the Fall 2015 issue was a nice article about the project to preserve and ID old apple trees on the former farms of the former Badger Army Ammunition Plant. "Of Connection and Renewal". I've tried to figure out how to post a link for the listserv, but the magazine's website and the URLs at the end of the article aren't any help. The group doing the project-- the Badger Apple Corp-- doesn't have a website.
It's an interesting article and seems fairly complete (lacking mention of some of the hard winters and long droughts these trees have survived). I don't know how to get it to the listserv other than scanning it and linking the images, which is probably against copyright.
Otherwise, watch for results of some research the article mentions: the accumulation in fruit of toxins from contaminated soils.
Tanis Cuff, s.WI, crocus and snowdrops blooming but wind damaged, earliest buds swelling but slowed by temerature drop
