Apples Pears & Peaches Cherries, Plums & Pawpaws Blackberries & Raspberries Gooseberries, Jostaberries & Currents Grapes & Kiwis Figs, Trifoliate Orange, Osage Orange, & Goumi NEW PLANTS FOR 2010!
Apples: Offered on fully dwarfing rootstock Bud-9 which grows a tree 6-8’ tall, or on M-111 which reaches 18’ but can be kept pruned to 14’. Check for availability of different cultivars on each stock. All grafted; $16 each
Redfree: Summer. An outstanding disease resistant apple from the PRI breeding program. Cherry red over most of the apples; a few may have some hint of green on shade side. More flavorful for fresh eating than most summer apples. Also a good farmer’s market potential due to its bright cheery color! Like most summer apples, not a good keeper—maybe 3 weeks with good cold storage. Gallon Pots—$16 Freedom: Huge summer apple with good shiny red color! Another PRI disease-resistant release. Very good crisp eating for a summer apple. Slightly later than Redfree. Gallon Pots—$16 Yellow Transparent: Summer. The most well-known applesauce-apple. One of the earliest to ripen. Very tart with little sweetness, does not store long. I know of a few hardcore tart apple lovers who claim they like eating this one off the tree, but most folks just wince! While its disease-resistance is not known, I hear of many neglected Yellow Transparents that are producing fine out in fencerows and old fields. Gallon Pots—$16 Cox’s Orange Pippen: Fall. Please note that this is NOT known to be disease resistant—on the contrary, Cox’s is known to be prone to a few diseases. However, it is recognized worldwide as one of the best-flavored apples! It is also beautiful; orangey-red striped over a lighter background. Gala has Cox’s in it’s parentage. Slow to come into bearing, but if you are willing to deal with diseases, this one is worth it! Originally from England. Gallon Pots—$16 Liberty: Fall/Winter. Touted as the most disease-resistant of the apples, this tree has performed remarkably well for us, producing flawless shiny fruit. The fruit is deep red with a green blush on the shade side, having a flavor like a sprightly and crisp McIntosh. Need to thin this variety heavily or you will have smaller fruits. A decent keeper in storage. $16 Arkansas Black: Fall/Winter. The heirloom apple most often noted for its disease resistance and outstanding keeping abilities. Late season apple, fruits are dark red and very hard at picking. Time in storage softens them a little and the flavor goes towards the sweet side. Supposedly can keep until March the following year! Gallon Pots—$16 Roxbury Russet: Fall/Winter. Thought to be the first apple variety developed in the US! Roxbury was widely cultivated in its time, known for its outstanding single-variety cider. Russet apples have some of the best flavors going for them, and while many people have blamed them for being homely, I believe the russeting makes them more beautiful! Most russets are supposedly more insect-resistant than smooth apples due to fruit hardness and thicker skin. Flavor is a very sweet-tart subacid and the apples are very hard but juicy at picking time, softening and flavoring in storage till Spring. Touted as being scab-resistant. Gallon Pots—$16 Golden Russet: Fall/Winter. Similar to Roxbury Russet, but larger and more yellow in skin color. Also great for fresh eating all winter and cider. May have slightly more disease-resistance than Roxbury. Gallon Pots—$16
