Wild apple repository
10:49 am in Uncategorized by Theun Karelse
Oland has a rich landscape full of wild fruit. Hazelnut, Sloeberry and its cousin the wild Plum are spread all over the surroundings of Kultivator on the East Coast of the island. During the M.A.R.I.N. workshop a database of these wild apples and pears is made.
The data collected includes: location (GPS coordinates mapped on Boskoi), the amount of fruits on the tree (roughly) and a photograph of the location. The collected fruit samples are described in taste, size, outer shape, core shape, and length of the stalk. Also each apple gets its portrait taken.
More about the project in this interview for local radio station DITT P4 Kalmar
Two excerpts of the show presented by Erika Norberg:
Lyssna: Därför kartlägger Theun vildäpplen...
Lyssna: "Det godaste vildäpplet hittade jag i Åkerby..."
