Hi all,

I was surprised how little information there is about where either of the
trees are in Pound Ridge, NY. It's a small town, so it seems something
which got national media coverage would at least get *some *local press.
Alas, no luck reaching out via social media. My detective work based on
details of the photos narrowed it down to a small area, but it appeared to
be all private property. So I contacted the artist to find out where they
are. Indeed, they are not open to the public. But in the course of that
email conversation, he and his representatives agreed to release a small
number of photos. We didn't get all that I asked for, but we did get 6, and
I think they complement Lea's photo, as we now have leafy, flowering,
fruiting, and the fruit itself (and a diagram). None of them are very high
resolution, though, so it would still be great to get more...
