A member of the International Advisory Panel for Apples & People, Barrie was generous in sharing his knowledge, and inspirational. We have lost the King of the Apple. 2/2

Very sorry indeed to hear about the passing of Prof. Juniper. I read 'The Story of the Apple' cover to cover last year and devoured every word. It (or the later edition 'The Extraordinary Story of the Apple') is an invaluable resource for pomologists everywhere.

We are sad to share news that Professor Barrie Juniper has died at the age of 90. Barrie's pioneering research into the origin of the domestic apple is recorded in 'The Extraordinary Story of the Apple', the definitive book he wrote with Professor David Mabberley. 1/2
