2023 Frost Survey - Foraged Fruit Project

The May 18th hard frost in the Northeast has been a significant event for many farms and businesses. We are wondering how it has affected foraged fruit, either wild specimens in the landscape, or specimens grafted from foraged scion wood and grown in cultivated orchards. Please fill out this brief survey below to let us know how your foraged fruit resources fared, and if you anticipate any harvest this year. Project information can be found here: https://hardcider.cals.cornell.edu/foraged-fruit-project/ Dr. Maria Kennedy can be reached at maria.kennedy@rutgers.edu if you have questions or would like to discuss this project further.

Foraged Fruit Frost Outcomes - Description
How did the frost affect trees that you forage? Give us a short description of what happened to trees on sites you forage in the wild or to trees cultivated from foraged scion wood. If there are specific trees, varieties, or locations that fared better in the frost, tell us about them and why you believe the fruit survived?

2023 Foraged Fruit Harvest Predictions
Based on your observations of your foraging sites after the frost event, estimate what kind of harvest you anticipate this year.
Specimen Submission Fall 2023
We hope to continue collection of specimens this year, but it may depend on what is available. If you anticipate any harvest of foraged fruit, either wild or grafted, that you have not previously submitted to the project, please let us know. Where possible, we hope to collect fruit and leaf samples from those who have not already submitted fruit during the 2022 season.
Other Comments
If there is something else you would like us to know about the effect of the frost, about your anticipated foraging this year, your cider making from foraged fruit, or an issue we have not covered, please let us know.
