MORP supporter,

It is time for the Summer Heritage Apple Tree Sale & Fundraiser on SAT, June 15th from 10AM-3PM! The event takes place at the Orchard Hub located at 13729 Road 29, Dolores, CO. Fourth driveway on the west side of road just north of Southwest Seed. No pets please.

We hope to see you there! Not able to attend? Shop our online inventory for local pickup in SW Colorado within 2 weeks of order. Schedule in advance.

This year's lucky attendees will have access to the most diverse selection of rare and endangered apple trees that MORP has ever offered! We call them Guardian Trees because they have resisted pests, disease, and drought for over 100 years and we want YOU to help us SAVE them. Do not dismiss these beauties simply because their original names have been lost to time. Genetic analysis and their continued presence in Colorado's historic orchards confirm that they are special.

Dozens of varieties are available! We invite you to come on out to the Orchard Hub to visit with us and get to know more about these rarities. (BTW they are also the best looking trees in the nursery right now and everything looks good). It has taken MORP over a decade of dedicated fruit exploring and preservation work to reach this point of being able to offer these endangered trees to you. When you plant these guardians you both help support our work with the funds raised AND the genetics saved.

A handful of early birds (no sales until 10am) will have the opportunity to purchase the sought after Colorado Orange apple tree. If you miss out, no worries, we will have more soon! Current members of MORP receive first notice of CO Orange availability so this a great time to renew or sign up. Never heard of an apple called an orange (or willing to hear more), read the latest news in The Denver Gazette!

We are so grateful to all the fruit stewards who have invited MORP into their orchards to preserve Colorado's fruitful legacy for future generations. Now all we need is for you to plant a tree or two or many more. We (and future generations) thank you.
