I am researching heritage apples in Britain and the effects of climate change upon them for a Bsc Hons in Horticulture. Currently I am seeking scientific and anecdotal evidence from other researchers, orchard owners, gardeners, or anyone really! Particularly changes noticed, observed, recorded of any kind connected with flowering times, fruiting times, crop quantity, water-logging, drought, frost, pollinator interaction and populations, pests and disease, changes to pruning and watering regimes and so on.
I am also looking forward to contact with others who are involved with this fascinating subject.
