Join Sara Fitzsimmons and Tim Eck at the House Rock BC1 Orchard to take measurements. These trees have had their genomes fully sequenced, and now we need to take the phenotypic data to compare to the underlying genetic information. This event would mainly be looking at trees and giving them a ranking for 13 different metrics on about 100 trees and recording that on a data sheet. Attendees will be working groups of 2 or 3.
