388: French Origins of American Apples | The Grand-Mères

Discover the Apple Grand-mères/Grandmothers of North America

Todd Little-Siebold (Ph.D.) spoke at New York Apple Camp (2023) on a presentation titled the "Three Grandmothers" or Grand-mères in French. The sub title is "We have to reframe how we think about the origins of American Apple".

Todd is a professor of history and Latin American studies at the College of the Atlantic based in Bar Harbor Maine. As such this presentation is academic in nature and inspires both present day pomologist and apple fans of today and tomorrow to continue to trace the ancestral roots of the apple. Enjoy this exploration in to the continuing research behind the origins of apples.

Understand (French) history to understand American Apples

This research requires looking at genetics and early settlement of French explores long before any English explorers showed up on North America.

Additional topics covered in this presentation:

When and where, were the French (apple) ancestors brought to America?
The early settlements on North America
Bay of Funday the first orchard planted in 1604
4,000 French farmers in the Mississippi Valley in 1700s
The Dutch impact of American apples
What about the pilgrims? Didn't they bring apples to America?
Native American's impact on apples in America
Genetics provides some evidence, but still looking for missing links of why English apples aren't showing up.
