Glenoran century-old chestnut a ‘Slow fruit’ candidate

SLOW Food Southern Forests’ convivium member Nic Giblett believes a century-old chestnut at Foresters’ Wood near Glenoran in Western Australia’s south west could be a perfect Picking slow fruit project candidate. The national campaign by Slow Food in Australia to map and photograph mature fruit and nut trees at risk of loss is attracting wide interest. Nursery & Garden Industry Association Western Australian board member – and Slow Food Perth member – Jackie Hooper has offered to enlist the association’s help to publicise the campaign. Participants photographing and reporting trees will be eligible to enter a national photographic competition.
