AN INVITATION: COME LEARN ABOUT CORNELIAN CHERRIES
The next Member Meeting of the Seattle Tree Fruit Society will be Saturday September 27, 9-11am. The featured talk will be on Cornelian Cherries (Cornus mas). The meeting location is The Brig at Magnuson Park, 7400 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115. This meeting is open to the public.

What is a Cornelian Cherry? Here is a catalog description:
“A unique and attractive form of Dogwood, Cornelian Cherry is native to Ukraine and other regions around the Black Sea. Growing as a shrub or small tree, it is valued for its tasty fruit and for its ornamental value. Depending on the variety, Cornelian Cherry fruit can taste like a Cherry or a wild plum. It is very high in Vitamin C and is good for fresh eating, preserves, juice, and wine.” – One Green World

This has been a great year for fruit. Here is another opportunity to turn that bumper apple crop into cider. The Seattle Tree Fruit Society will have a booth at the Sustainable Ballard Festival – Sept. 28, 11:00am to 6:00pm, and will operate a Cider Press all day.
