Apple
Grafted onto M.111 rootstock. Sold as bare root trees. 2-3’ tall. A brief description of the varieties available below.
Sweet 16 - very sweet, complex eating apple. Flavors of anise, cherry candy, and vanilla. Good disease resistance. Ripens mid September. Zone 3b hardy.
Liberty - dark red skin and crunchy white flesh. Balance of tart and sweet. Very disease resistant. Ripens mid-late September. Zone 4 hardy.
Winesap - rich flavor and juicy, crisp flesh. A great heirloom from the 18th century that shows resistance to cedar apple rust and fireblight. Great for fresh eating and cooking. Great keeper. Ripens mid October. Zone 4 hardy.
Co op 23 (Williams Pride) - a great early season apples with good disease resistance. Crisp, firm flesh and a beautiful dark red skin. Rich, sweet flavor. Ripens early August. Zone 4 hardy.
Co op 38 - an attractive smooth skinned apple with great disease resistance. Sweet and tangy, excellent for fresh eating, cider, and sauce. Keeps very well. Late season apple. Zone 4 hardy.
Chestnut Crab - large crab with fine grained, very sweet flesh. Yellow and red skin with light russeting. Considered one of the best named eating crabs. One of my favorite apples. Keeps about a month. Ripeness in September. Zone 4 hardy (maybe 3).
Bonitas Crab - a large crab I discovered growing from a rootstock stump on an ornamental crab. The rootstock has taken over the tree and I’m happy about it. The tree was originally planted for a woman named Bonita so we named this crab after her. Flavors of cranberry and grape. An apple I look forward to every year. I haven’t checked brix but I’m assuming it’s high. I always add some to my cider blend. Everyone who’s tried a Bonitas crab loves them. See them in the second picture. Ripens in late September. Good disease resistance. Zone 4 hardy.
Jonagold - crisp flesh with a nice balance of sweet and tart. Yellow with large flushed of red when ripe. This is a triploid apple meaning it needs two other pollinators to produce fruit. A cross between jonathan and golden delicious that was developed in the 1940’s. Ripens in mid to late September. Zone 4 hardy.
Minnesota 1734 - this was part of the university of MN apple breeding program. Bronze russet skin that ripens with a red blush. Yellow flesh and high in sugar. Seems to be a reliable annual producer. Makes great cider. Very cold hardy (zone 3). Ripens in late September to mid October. Stores well.
Pristine - a modern disease resistant apple that ripens early. It came out of the Perdue, Rutgers and Illinois Universities breeding program. Vigorous grower with spreading branch habit. Beautiful yellow skin, crips flesh with a balanced spicy flavor of sweet and acid. Zone 5a hardy.
Lost tag - we’re 90% sure these are either Sweet 16 or Pink Pearl. We are selling them for less due to the unknown.
