[ASB1969]

I also read this Atlas Obscura article-Alan Bean did not carry apple seeds to the moon. All Astronauts have a list of what they personally took on the mission (flags, jewelry, military insignia). Apple seeds was not part of Alan Bean's list. In addition I am unaware of any apple seeds carried as part of an Apollo 12 NASA experiment. ALSEP, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package contained the Apollo 12 science experiments. There is a chance Alan Bean conducted an experiment with apple seeds on board Skylab, although I do not remember one. There were many Skylab experiments and apple seeds could have been part of one of those experiments. That fact could be verified using the Skylab II mission documentation. Amy Bean
