The Heritage Fruits Society manages the heritage block at Pettys. We have approximately 280 varieties on 350 trees, most planted in the 1980s by Melbourne Parks & Waterways. But in recent years, we have made many additions to the collection: some French cider apples, other heirloom varieties, a collection of apple rootstock types, the three varieties of medlars available in Victoria, and a few odds and ends such as varieties collected from roadsides.

The full list of apple varieties in the collection as at August 2022 is shown below. Those marked '?' are likely to be incorrectly identified.

We always run a grafting day on the first Sunday in August, and most of the varieties listed can be obtained - as scion wood, a one-year-old tree, or a tree grafted on the spot. We also run apple tastings, February to April, depending on varieties and quantities available. These events are listed on our home page.
