Margo Mazur interviewed author and apple expert Sean Turley for a recent edition of The Fizz. They talked about the history of apples, the importance of teaching apple identification, and his new book Practical Pomology.
Three years later, they’re publishing a book I’m very excited to tell you about. Practical Pomology is a field guide for the apple-curious, whether you’re a seasoned forager and cidermaker or someone who just loves that big apple tree in your neighbor’s yard. It’ll teach you how to recognize the difference between seedling and grafted trees, identify the apples you come across, and ultimately understand their traits. What you do with that long lost fruit is up to you.
