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 http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/08/trees_40_fruits_sam_van_aken_...
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?
