About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Laura Sieger about various aspects of apples, including their history and care.

In this episode I'm talking to Laura Sieger about Apples. We cover history, care, varieties and re-framing expectations. Laura is a freelance orchardist and nursery worker who has worked on several great projects around Maine. They mention the Maine Heritage Orchard , Maine Apple Camp and the Gnarly Pippins Wild and Seedling Pomological Exhibition . You can follow Laura on Instagram or email them at Maine Fruit Buds . This episode was recorded in person and wound up with a little bit of weird reverb/ crosstalk that I couldn't quite get rid of, sorry about that!
