Discover the Next Great Apple

Susan Poizner, founder of Ben Nobleman Community Orchard in Toronto, talks about the upcoming apple-tasting fundraiser event for the orchard. Poizner is a college instructor, author of Grow Fruit Trees Fast and Growing Urban Orchards, and the founder of Orchard People.

At the virtual apple tasting, participants are guided through characteristics such as:

• Smell
• Flavour
• Texture

The apples in the tasting were bred in Ontario — and have not yet been released.
