Heritage Apple Orchard is thriving

Effort to preserve native varieties meets with success in Union County, beyond

By Amy Carter

BLAIRSVILLE They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but what they don't tell you is the name of the apple best suited to the task. Way back when everybody was a farmer, long before there were grocery stores and convenience stores on every corner, people grew different varieties of apples for different purposes.
"Everybody these days, when they go to get an apple, they go and get a fresh market eating apple. That's not necessarily what everybody was after back in those days. They were after good cooking apples or something they could make a good cider with," said Nathan Eason, White County coordinator for the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service.
Stephen Mihm, head of UGA's Department of History, said apples had about seven different functions historically: pie, fried, sauce, butter, cider, liquor, and animal feed.
The varieties that are so familiar today Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Gala, McIntosh weren't household names in the South in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Terry Winter, Rabun Bald and Ben Davis were. Some names were universally known, others

Cynthia Wright is one of the first friendly voices people hear when they call the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

A member of the licensing division's call center, Wright explained that while each call is unique from renewing a Market Bulletin subscription or processing a license to responding to a question the job is the same.

"We work with people to get them to the place they need to go," Wright said.
The licensing division is unique among the other GDA divisions because they work for customers and regulators. The division's call center staff are the first people custom-

ers talk to at the GDA. At the same time, the licensing coordinators help the department's seven license-issuing divisions process applications, renewals and payments.
Stacy Hall, interim division director, explained that the GDA issues 70 licenses each year, including everything from apiary (beekeeper) licenses to pesticide contractor licenses to food safety licenses. Hall said the job sounds basic to review license applications and renewals and collect payment for them but each license is different. The coordinators are assigned to divisions and know how to help the customers navigate the process.
"It's pretty straightforward once you get everything moving," Hall said. "We don't ever stop. There are no breaks in between. We're constantly moving and constantly renewing at one program or another throughout the year."
Some licenses require an inspection visit, which means the license coordinators will work with the divisions to collect that information.
"We're in constant contact with all the other divisions. It's one complete process, but it's two different divisions because the majority of the work is done in regulatory," Hall said. "The customer will apply, the inspector goes out, and once he goes out, he'll

Forestry Matters: Maintaining sustainable forests is a year-round job

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
The condition of Georgia's diverse forestlands is always in clear focus at the Georgia Forestry Commission. With every changing season, proven healthy forest processes are carried out, while new challenges are met with expertise and vision for the future. As the No. 1 forestry state in the nation, that encompasses many systems and many people each of whom holds deep appreciation for the majestic resource with which we are entrusted.
The good health and sustainability of Georgia's 24.6 million acres of forestland get year-'round scrutiny from GFC's forest health specialists. This team regularly tracks the condition of trees across the state and the insects, diseases, and invasive species that would do them harm. Think pine beetles, laurel wilt disease, and tough, flammable cogongrass. The forest health team is ready to help when landowners notice problems they can't solve on their own)
One of the most visible forest health problems that can be found in an ever increasing number of Georgia counties is the emerald ash borer. Emerald ash borer is an exotic insect that belongs to a group of metallic wood-boring beetles. Unlike our native beetles that typically kill weakened trees as part of the natural nutrient recycling process, EAB kills vigorously growing ash trees. It is not native to the United States and was first found near Detroit, Mich., in 2002. As of September 2022, there were infestations in 36 states, the District of Columbia and five Canadian provinces, and it has already killed hundreds of millions of ash trees.
Emerald Ash Borer was first detected in Georgia in 2013 in

DeKalb and Fulton counties. In 2022, GFC foresters hung 70 purple prism traps across the state. From these traps, two new counties Hall and Polk came back with positive confirmations of EAB. Two positive confirmations were also made from bark samples in Jasper and Putnam counties. These additional counties bring the total number of positive counties in Georgia to 48.
The Georgia Forestry Commission will continue to monitor the spread of emerald ash borer across the state. If you have a question, please contact your local forester or visit the GFC website at https://gatrees.org/emerald-ash-borer-eab/.
The fall foliage season in Georgia begins this month, and the GFC is ready with valuable tips for leaf peepers. Beginning on Thursday, Sept. 29 and continuing through early November, GFC foresters will provide weekly updates on tree species color changes, the effect of current weather, and the best vistas across North Georgia to enjoy the scenic views.
Information about leaf changes can be found at GaTrees.org with a blog and colorful photos you are encouraged to share using #GALeafWatch. The weekly updates are also posted on GFC's social media channels, twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Find us at @GaTrees. Live updates with video and photos are scheduled on Fox5 TV's Thursday afternoon weathercasts with David Chandley in Atlanta. Live GFC forester reports are also featured on Saturday mornings with Ashley Frasca on WSB 95.5 FM's "Green and Growing" program in Atlanta.
Don't forget that GFC seedling sales are in full swing, offering some premier species unavailable elsewhere. Visit gaseedlings.org. And for more information about Georgia's forests and services of the Georgia Forestry Commission, visit GaTrees.org.

Foresters use traps like this to track the Emerald ash borer. Unlike native beetles that attack weakened or diseased trees, the invasive ash borer kills vigorous ash trees. (GFC)

Call Center Staff: Friendly voices offer answers to many question about the GDA and its work

Continued From Page 1

send us the information that, `Okay, everything looks good to go.' We collect the secure and verifiable documentation we need; we upload that into the system and then send a link to pay. If it's a (license) renewal, they will get an invoice in the mail."
The call center is also responsible for all other calls coming into the GDA. They answer questions and direct customers to who they need to reach. The call center also helps Market Bulletin subscribers sign up for and renew their subscriptions, and make changes to their accounts.
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black started the licensing division in 2013.

The call center came first, followed by licensing coordination. The first program assigned to the division was processing licenses and fee payments of the Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemption program.
Shortly afterward, the division took on a larger role in processing documentation required by federal law for the purpose of citizenship verification. Having the licensing division manage those documents, also known as verification of lawful presence documents, has helped the other divisions focus on regulatory enforcement for their areas.
The law enacted during the George W. Bush Administration required proof of citi-

zenship or immigration status for all public benefits issued, including GDA-regulated licenses. All new and renewal licenses are required to complete a notarized affidavit and provide one form of acceptable identification document, such as a birth certificate, a passport or employment authorization document.
Hall said the division is constantly working to improve service and keep up with new technology. The licensing division continues to process mailed check payments but is also processing electronic transactions by credit card.
Hall said the next steps include upgrading

the GDA website to allow license holders to pay online.
"We are always changing with the times. We are revisiting the process, looking at what is working and what is not working, and catching up with the times," Hall said.
The web page for the GDA's Licensing Division is https://agr.georgia.gov/licensing.aspx. The site provides online resources for applying for a license and related links. You can also call the licensing division at 404.586.1411 or 855.4.AG.LICENSE (855.424.5423) or email GDALicensing@ agr.georgia.gov.

Scientists still evaluating potential impacts of exotic invader
Joro mania imperils native, beneficial arachnids

By Jordan Powers
University of Georgia
College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences
They have been described as palm-sized, parachuting creatures with the potential to spread up the East Coast. Now dozens of webs are appearing in trees, on fences and in gardens around the Southeast, and social media and neighborhood message boards are buzzing with Joro spider sightings. Discussions of eradication methods ranging from chemical sprays to "Joro sticks" typically a broomstick or other long stick used to destroy or relocate the Joro spiders' large, strong webs are rampant. Joro season is undoubtedly here.
But, according to a team of University of Georgia experts collecting data about the spiders through the newly formed Joro Watch initiative, it's best to put down the stick (for now) and pick up a camera.
"Our native spiders are out there in similar developmental stages, building webs and eating insects," said Jason Schmidt, associate professor in the Department of Entomology at UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. "Spiders consume a lot of different prey types, from flies to pest insects. Removing any spider or attempting to indiscriminately or accidentally remove or control all spiders will damage the biodiversity out there."
CAES entomologist Rick Hoebeke, associate curator of the UGA Collection of Arthropods at the Georgia Museum of Natural History, remembers the first Joro-related call he received in 2014 a private resident had collected a spider in his Madison County

yard and believed it was a non-native species from Southeast Asia.
The Joro spider likely arrived in Georgia some report as early as 2013 by traveling or laying egg masses on shipping containers. In a 2015 paper, Hoebeke wrote that the spider appeared heavily in the area surrounding Braselton on Interstate 85, an area laden with distribution centers.
"There's a cousin of the Joro already here in the Southeast: the banana spider or golden silk spider," said Andy Davis, assistant research scientist and graduate program faculty at the UGA Odum School of Ecology. "They've been here for a long, long time so long that the ecosystem has caught up and they've balanced themselves out. There could very well have been a big explosion when they arrived as well. That's where we could be in the future."
Hoebeke concurs, "Only time will tell if (Joro spiders) remain at such high numbers. We're learning as we go."
Familiarity with Joro spider development, it turns out, is a challenge.
"Over time, as they continue to grow and molt, the body colorization changes. You don't really start seeing the distinctively colored spiders as we have come to know them until they reach sexual maturity in the fall," Hoebeke said, adding that maturity dates range from late August into September.
Rebekah Wallace, early detection and distribution mapping system coordinator at the UGA Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health, said well-meaning citizen-scientists can get a little overzealous despite having limited knowledge on the arachnids.
With the number of species out there and

possible visual similarities between them, identification can be difficult, Wallace added. Entomological experts consider all these
The Joro Watch team is pursuing a number of approaches to Joro spider research, looking into their impact on native species -- like pollinators and native spiders -- habitat, lifecycle and management. To help facilitate more conclusive research, UGA experts ask that the public help gather critical data by monitoring spider populations in the environment. (Photo by Carly Mirabile)

factors when identifying a subject. "We don't know for sure if they will or
won't have an ecological impact," said Kamal Gandhi, professor of forest entomology in Warnell.
The Joro Watch team is pursuing a number of approaches to Joro spider research, looking into their impact on native species (like pollinators and native spiders), habitat, lifecycle and management. Until more research can be completed, all of the experts ask that the public be patient and help gather critical research data by monitoring spider populations in the environment.
"A lot of these spiderlings are hard to distinguish from each other," Gandhi said. "We recommend not killing every spider.
Schmidt encourages the public to get involved with ongoing research through the Joro Watch initiative.
As spiderlings mature, researchers are collecting images and specimens every two to three weeks to follow development and gain insight into what the future holds for the Joro spider in Georgia and beyond, said CAES entomologist Will Hudson.
Hudson fears that "Joro-mania" will cause hyperawareness and militant spider-hunting among the general public.
"That would be devastating for our native web spiders that are usually present in much lower numbers," Hudson said.
Wallace, who manages more than 300,000 images of varying species in the Bugwood Images Database, said most reporting of Joro spider sightings over the past several years has taken place in August through October.

Heritage Apple Orchard: Heirloom varieties are more tolerant of Southern weather, soil, disease pressures

Continued From Page 1

variables like shipping suitability, especially in national markets. They are casualties that have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the apple itself."
Native varieties are naturally suited to the climate and most disease pressures, requiring little to no chemical management.
"You go up north, apple scab is a major disease in those orchards. Never had it here," Covington said. "Bitter rot up there is not a major disease; it is down here. So, these apples may be favored because of that yet we're still planting Northern varieties down here and suffering for it."
The mountain counties of Georgia produced a significant amount of commercial apple crops in the early 20th century before the Pacific Northwest came to dominate the field.
Funding from a Specialty Crop Block Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture paid for collection of specimens, grafting and planting of the heirloom orchard. Now the orchard management team is looking for other funding sources to help maintain and grow the project, including partnering with cideries in the state to utilize native varieties. The easing of COVID restrictions will allow greater public education opportunities in the future.
A flurry of press attention when the orchard was initially planted led to the donation of 30 additional varieties of heirloom apples, which were planted in February.
"One provisional variety came to us from Mr. Coggins in Lamar County," Fuder said.

"Mr. Coggins thinks his variety is the lost `Family' variety that was once popular in Georgia and was even noted by pomologists in New York as a variety of exceptional quality. Fingers crossed that it will end up matching."
Another lead came from Mr. Gragg, 84, of Clarkesville, who took the apple team to a tree that was quite large when he was a boy. The team collected scion material with some difficulty, "but I think we will have some that put on enough growth to join the heritage orchard this winter," Fuder said.
What makes the discovery even more exciting is its location, which was the home to the first commercial apple nurseryman in Georgia, Jarvis Van Buren.
"Van Buren came to the area in the mid 1800s and discovered many of the Southern apples on the Cherokee lands," Fuder said. "While I doubt this tree is that old, it could very well be a second generation pass along."
Extending the preservation efforts beyond the research center is a present and future goal. In 2021, surplus trees were shared with North Georgia Technical College, the University of North Georgia, and Young Harris for small student-supported orchards. And the apple team will be working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers next year to graft specimens for cultivation of a redundant orchard on public land surrounding the Lake Allatoona reservoir in Northwest Georgia. The orchard would benefit all users, including hunters and the general public, Fuder said.

This tree in Clarkesville was giant when its current owner, now 84, was a boy. It could be the second generation of an apple variety that existed when the Cherokee still inhabited North Georgia. (Joshua Fuder/UGA)

Georgie's Drive Thru Royston
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel thru Georgia promoting the Peach State's No. 1 industry, agriculture! Georgia is the Peach State and also home of the Georgia Peach, Ty Cobb. Tyrus Ray-

mond Cobb was born in 1866 in Narrows. His family moved to Royston when he was very young. He grew up to play major league baseball for the Detroit Tigers from 1904 to 1928 and was given the nickname "the Georgia Peach" by Atlanta Journal sportswriter, Grantland Rice. Cobb's hometown has honored him with two downtown murals. A statue of him was also installed in front of Fulton County Stadium in 1977. When the Braves moved, the statue was given to the city of Royston where it sits in front of the county library. The sculptor was Felix de Weldon, the same man that created the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial that commemorates the flag-raising on Iwo Jima during World War II. The monument commemorates Cobb as "American League Batting Champion twelve times, nine times in succession (1907-1915, 1917-1919), he created or equaled more records than any other player in history and was the first player elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936." The New York Times called him, "The greatest and smartest player baseball has ever known.'"
