Andy's article on the Tree of 40 Fruits is exceptionally interesting.
I'll especially commend him on his beautiful use of the external video
template.
The request for photos of one of the 16 trees has a couple of
difficulties though. 1st we've only got about a month to get the photo
while the trees are in bloom. Also the map provided by van Aker is
very vague. I'd guess one tree is somewhere north of Philadelphia,
but I'd certainly need a better map to find it. One tree I could
track down is on the Syracuse University campus quad, which is briefly
visible in the CBS video at

There's others "in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Short Hills, New Jersey;
Louisville, Kentucky; Pound Ridge, New York" but we'd need to know
where exactly.
Is anybody close to the Syracuse campus?

Wikipedia needs an open licensed picture of one of the "Trees of 40 Fruit":

in blossom.
Most are in the United States. There's a map of their locations at:

Can anyone oblige, please?
