Despite its heritage importance and its involvement with the culture and economic production of Chiloé since colonial times, the apple tree does not have a baseline of information that allows the valorization of this heritage. A disciplinary cross between history and agronomy is proposed in this work. The objective is to determine the presence and distribution patterns of current apple tree cultivations according to and in relation to information collected in AHN and ARNAD. Results and discussion: abundance of very small cultivations (0.12 ha. Average) with higher density in localities of Putemún, Yutuy and Dalcahue, while Putemún, Yutuy, Tenten-Llaullau and Quilquico have a higher proportion of cultivation units per study area. A certain correspondence is observed between the identified localities and historical archives and hot spots of proposed cultivations. Conclusions: although there is no full coincidence between the archive information and what was researched in the field, the relationship that is established shows coherence with its results when verifying maintenance of the type and size of cultivations since XIX century, together with locations of greater coincidence of them.
