Abandoned apple orchards, again?

Hi all, I'm a grad student at Binghamton University in NY. I study population genetics in the apple maggot fly and would like to come to the area to collect infested fruit and rear larvae.

Would anyone in this group know of any abandoned orchards in this area, or have any unsprayed trees with fruit?

I actually posted a couple of years ago and got got a great lead at ephrata Cloisters but unfortunately that site is not available this year, and I need a site in this area for my population study. I have exhausted my other leads for this area and was hoping people might have fresh perspectives LOL.

Thanks so much! You folks are always very nice and helpful.

Unsprayed apple trees

Hi everyone,

I'm a grad student at Binghamton University in NY studying population genetics in the apple maggot fly.

I'm doing a latitudinal study, and would love to come to this area of WV to be able to sample. I've heard that the Kearneysville area has been hit with a late frost, so I'm cautious regarding that. I've also heard that this area has a population of apple maggot. I'm looking for abandoned apple orchards or unsprayed apple trees, and would especially appreciate if any growers have had problems with this pest on their properties before.

To sample, I'd bring back infested fruit (they would be too mangled to eat anyway).

Thank you. I really appreciate it!

Unsprayed Apple trees

Hi everyone,

I'm a grad student at Binghamton University in NY studying population genetics in the apple maggot fly.

I'm doing a latitudinal study, and would love to come to IL to be able to sample. I'm looking for abandoned apple orchards or unsprayed apple trees.

We are currently at our field site in Urbana and The one our lab usually visits is gone... Urgently, If you have an unsprayed tree on your property or have any leads for abandoned orchards/unsprayed trees, I would be grateful.

To sample, I'd bring back infested fruit (they would be too mangled to eat anyway).

Thank you. I really appreciate it!

Best French toast

Hi all, what's the best place around here (diner or otherwise) to get some French toast for breakfast? My friend is doing her last hoorahs in the area.

Thanks!
