![]() ![]() ![]() Both are still young, but I should be able to report on them in a couple more years. However, I didn't list them in my original recommendations, because I haven't seen them proven here yet. I have Sundance and Enterprise planted myself and feel there is a good chance that they will do well here. Not sure if Pink Lady (Cripp's) would work here but sounds interestingįirst let me address the possibilities you listed at the end of your post. I wasn't sure what your thoughts were on these cultivars: Trying to grow "organically" by not using sprays of any kind is wishful thinking that usually results in severely diseased trees with poor fruit quality."Ĭultivars you note and where they are sold (Century Farms-CF, Peaceful Heritage-PH with inv updated on 1/1/18, Wildlife Group-WG):ĭozier Crab - WG (do you think I should skip out on other varieties of Crabapples and focus on the apple trees or just get this one?)īlack Limbertwig - CF, WG (not sure if Black Twig the same tree)īased on research, these sound like possibilities. And, we absolutely recommend utilizing organic sprays every spring season for health and well-being of your trees including Surround, sulfur, copper, freshly made compost/garlic/comfrey "tea" as well as dormant oil every late autumn season. "If you are wanting to grow organically or without using lots of sprays, pay attention to the varieties we note as " recommended for organic growing" and therefore disease-resistant and focus on these, even if you have never heard of the variety before. With so many trees, I can't babysit beyond the first few years (planting in clusters rather than orchard-type plantings makes it harder too): I was wondering if what they say below on their website is true in your opinion. There's a nursery in Stanford, KY called Peaceful Heritage that sounds interesting and grows on MM111. Cummins seems to have smaller trees (45% standard) in a few of the varieties. ![]() I thought MM111 might be better for our soil, but I'm not sure. Wildlife Group seems to sell apple trees on 118 or other root stock. I've been stalking your posts trying to assemble a list of trees to plant and compare it to nurseries that have Yates and your other disease resistant cultivars available. ![]()
