Interesting.

I have my own mental map of where there are apple trees in my area. Plan to go collecting apples for making cider this weekend.

I thought it was very altruistic mapping trees, will they get any for themselves?
Someone posted a national link here last year, but where people were supposed to post info on trees there was loads of spam and links to dubious websites. Shows what a good job our Mods do, but not much good for apple trees.
Someone came and Freecycled all my windfalls/seconds/won't keeps yesterday. About a half hundredweight of apples and a couple of stone of damsons (I'd picked some damsons for dance club members but either the jam makers weren't there, or they'd got more than they wanted already).
I've learnt not to fill my freezer / jam cupboard with more than I'll use this year (plus a few for next year in case there's a crop failure)
