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... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tree_of_40_Fruit

Hi all,
I know it's not ideal and that an image of the tree in bloom would be better. Since I don't live in Syracuse, though, this is the image I could get. One can at least see the different leaves. Perhaps someone who lives near one of the trees or someone who was around one of them earlier in the season might have pictures of a tree in bloom. It's the best I could do for now!

Good news: someone seems to have uploaded a photo of the Syracuse tree:

Yes, it's good to have that - but we really need a picture of a tree in bloom, like this:
