Specialty Crop

This University of Wyoming study aims to save Wyoming’s historic and heirloom apple cultivars, including trees that were planted in orchards more than 100 years ago. The article in winter 2014 Barnyards & Backyards (“Wyoming Apple Project: Attempts to save Wyoming’s diverse apple cultivars”) details the research, and also discusses how landowners in Wyoming who have historic apple trees on their properties can help. Contact project lead Steve Miller for details.
