In my quest to provide novel, apple-related posts, I've upgraded my approach with a video! Behold the powerful, yet simple, mechanical device that peels, cores, and slices apples quickly and reliably! Which will lead to apple sauce.

@ml That’s a great idea that never occurred to me. I guess we could find someone interested at/via one of the local universities.

You can also just offer it to fruit enthusiast groups. In the US that would be CRFG and NAFEX. I think NAFEX has Canadian members as well, but I don't know if they hold scion exchanges.

Sean Myles at Dalhousie probably already has the variety, but he may be able to suggest places that would be interested in it. dal.ca/faculty/agriculture/pla…

You can also just share it to local friends/gardeners/parks.

With what's going on with climate change, it's even more important to share germplasm widely, as long as it's done safely (clean material, not shared across borders without virus/pest inspection).

The areas where we can successfully grow a given thing are shifting so one way to find out what's working for now is to try it in as many feasible locations as possible.
