I remember when this went through the submission process.  Ansteorra didn't 
blazon the fruit for a number of reasons.  One was that Sigen's fruit was not 
the usual grapes, and we weren't sure but what she'd want to change to the 
more historical form at some point. And I think I remember the fruit being 
two different colors (red apple, yellow pear?). We felt that if we blazoned 
it at all, we needed to blazon it completely, and the blazon became just too 
long and unwieldy for something that was, in essence, artistic license.  
(Sorta like this note.)

It's not at all unusual for Laurel to follow the kingdom blazon in cases like 
this. And in this case s/he had the very same reasons for leaving it as a 
default instead of a specific blazon.

So that's why it's not in the LoI or LoAR.  Sorry we confused you, Estrill -- 
that really wasn't our purpose!  Thanks for making the banners.  More 
heraldic display is great!  And thanks for the great job you are doing with 
the collated commentary.
