Lost Apples of the Palouse

Lost Apples of the Palouse In-Person

When the pilgrims first landed in America, the only apple trees on the continent were crab apples. After 250 years of planting millions of cider tree seeds, over 15,000 named apple trees existed in North America. Today, there are less than 5,000 named apples readily found. The Lost Apple Project searches for lost apples and is making exciting finds right here in the Palouse. Dave Benscoter and/or Bret Clifton talk about the steps they are taking to bring these apples back to life.
