We have planted many new cultivars this spring
including, Esopus Spitzenburg, Wealthy, Golden
Russett, Williams Pride, Cox Orange Pippen, Baldwin,
and an exciting new release called Frostbite. In
addition we have grafted existing cultivars to new
rootstock so that we can begin to fill in gaps in
rows. We are adding more Golden Delicious (older
variety good ones), Freedom, Red Astrachan, Fameuse,
Cortland, and Liberty.
This is all very exciting now, however growing apples is an exercise in patience, it will be at least 3-5 years before any of these start to fruit and 8-10 before a lot of them will really start to produce.
