Summary
The September 1970 Beaver Beacon described a bumper apple crop on Beaver Island and a horticultural review of samples from five trees on Father Donahoe’s property.
Evidence and limits
The report preserves the horticulturist’s partial identification but does not establish a formal cultivar record or complete orchard survey.
