- Brown Crofton , Good Flavour Dessert Apple, Disease Resistant, Sligo
- Ballyvaughan Seedling, Sweet and Crisp, From Co Clare
- Scarlet Crofton , Dark Red Flush, Sweet and Spicey, Sligo circa 1500

APRIL 2013 Apple and Damson Tree Planting Workshop . Andy Wilson, Cormac Langans (wcfe), TUS and RSS lads and lassies, at Westport Skatepark. Apple trees were planted against the Leenane Bridge wall and next year these will be trained against the old stone bridge. We also planted damsons – for a change. It’ll be interesting to taste them in a few years time..
The Edible Landscape Project sowed the apple seeds collected in September 2013, as part of a workshop with 6th class from St. Colmcille NS, the Quay, Westport. Apple seeds from the 3 gardens were used, labelled and potted on accordingly. These pots will be stored in the school and monitored and grown on to plant out in a few years.
