EXPERTS will be on hand to help members of the public identify mystery apples found in their gardens at an event near Penrith.

‘Apple Identification Day’ is on October 12 at the National Trust’s Acorn Bank estate, from 11am to 4pm.

People should bring three apples from each tree, along with some leaves from the plant, to have them identified and to get some information about caring for the tree.

The event is free to National Trust members, while standard admission to Acorn Bank applies for non-members.
