  • Watergore Trial Orchard
    NACM Short Report 5.5 Liz Copas 2005 WATERGORE TRIAL ORCHARD NOTE This trial site no longer exists and unfortunately some of the LA Disease Resistant seedling were grubbed out. Propagating material is still available of most of the other cultivars mentioned. SUMMARY Planted 1990 Main orchard planted to double rows N/S of Major, Ashton Bitter, Ellis Bitter and White Jersey at 18 x 8 on M25. This rootctock has proved rather too vigorous for the good soil on this site. In retrospect more effort was needed to control the early growth of these trees and induce cropping. The pruning trial [NACM 95/5/1] demonstrated some response to belated pruning to centre leader and bending or tying down strong lateral branches. This has served as a useful model for other orchards of these varieties. Planted 1995 Selected early harvesting seedlings from the Long Ashton [LA 1978] breeding program; 2 bittersweet, 4 sharps and 1 sweet, planted E/W on MM 106. Poor tree shape and excessively early flowering has ruled out many of these. The best are LA 13/2 and LA 13/7, Tremletts crosses with a strong resemblance to the parent but with some resistance to scab and mildew. Both need some initial tree training but could be kept annual. Planted 1996 Selected old varieties with some potential for bush orchards were planted on MM 106 . Of these the most promising are Broxwood Foxwhelp and possibly the other Foxwhelps [all bittersharps], also Don's Seedling [bittersweet] and Crimson King [sharp] as early harvesting varieties. Both Severn Banks [sharp] and Black Dabinett [bittersweet] could make useful late harvesting varieties.

  • 2014 Autumn's Gold
    www.evescidery.com / [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2014 Autumn’s Gold dry, traditional method sparkling cider Tannic English bittersweets Dabinett, Bulmer’s Norman, Major, Ellis Bitter and Somerset Redstreak, balanced a bit by Golden Russet, Akane, Goldrush and Idared. -Primary Fermentation in stainless steel. Secondary fermentation in bottle, followed by disgorging. ~424 cases bottled. ~Residual Sugar 0.0%, Alc/Vol 8%, Titratable Acidity 6.3 g/l, pH 3.9 Complex aromas of goldenrod, jasmine, beeswax, cowboy sweat, leather, and smoke transition to the rich fruity flavors of peach cobbler, cantaloupe, and citrus rind. The mid palate is very full, with well structured tannins reminiscent of rough sawn wood. The finish is firm and dry with long lingering tannins and balanced by bitters and citrus. “A clear deep gold with slow rising, medium-sized bubbles introduce the 2014 Autumn’s Gold from Eve’s Cidery in New York. Aromatically this cider is focused and simply stunning. What’s remarkable is that tasted blind, this cider could be mistaken for a just bottled ice cider. Yet it’s dry. Ripe apple aromas rise out of the glass and don’t stop. There is nearly a burnt apple sauce character to the nose. Really extraordinary. And what makes it extraordinary is that when you feel the cider on your palate there is not a stitch of sugar. This is truly dry cider. Tannins form the critical scaffolding in the Autumn’s Gold with Acid playing a secondary role, but still quite in evidence. It is moderately effervescent. Again, no sugar in support and no sign of the 8.5% alcohol.

Miles, Vegetable Extension Specialist, WSU Mount Vernon NWREC Jonathan Roozen, Associate in Research, WSU Mount Vernon NWREC Jacqueline King, Technical Assistant, WSU Mount Vernon NWREC Karen Hasenoehrl, Technical Assistant, WSU Mount Vernon NWREC Andrew (Drew) Zimmerman, Tulip Valley Vineyard and Orchard, 16163 State Route 536, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 OBJECTIVES: 1. To evaluate certain hard cider apple varieties and determine bloom dates, fruit set, and juice characteristics (brix, pH, percent acid, percent tannin) in northwest Washington. 2. To test mechanical harvest of cider apples with a berry harvester and evaluate impact on fruit yield and quality. SUMMARY: Bottling of 2 cider apples harvested in 2010 was done in January 2011, and 9 cider apple varieties were harvested and pressed for cider making in 2011; they will be bottled Spring 2012. Observations of bloom time and bloom density of 62 cultivars were recorded in April-May 2011. At harvest, juice samples were collected from 59 cider apple varieties grown at WSU Mount Vernon NWREC, and analyzed for percent tannin, brix, pH and titratable acid. A replicated trial comparing machine harvest of cider apples with hand harvest was conducted on October 25, 2011. Cider School courses were conducted at WSU Mount Vernon NWREC by the Northwest Agriculture Business Center; introductory courses were held June 27-July 1 and December 12-16, 2011.

    Increasing Branching of Cider Apple Trees Jon Clements and Elizabeth Garofalo University of Massachusetts Amherst Personal observation has suggested some cider Michelin, Redfi eld, Egremont Russet, St. Edmund’s apple variety trees are particularly prone to producing Russet, Medaille D’Or, and Cort Pendu Plat.

Blind wood is a result of last season’s shoot experimental design is a randomized block with four growth failing to produce bud, or branch, breaks during replications and three trees of each cider apple variety the current growing season. These lengths of unproduc- per experimental unit. Graft success was very good, tive wood remain for the duration of the shoot’s life and during the 2018 growing season two leaders were (until it is pruned out or whatever). Several methods can be used on dormant 1-year old wood to prevent blind wood and promote branching. These include notching and use of plant growth regulators (specifi cally 6-benzyladenine, 6-BA). To pro- mote branching on potential blind wood, ten cider apple varieties were treated with notching or 6-BA and compared to an untreated control in 2019 at the UMass Cold Spring Orchard in Belchertown, MA. Re- sults show that a 6-BA application is particularly eff ective at increas- ing branching on 1-year old wood, however, results depend somewhat on cider apple variety. Materials & Methods In 2018, a previously planted apple variety evaluation block on M.9 rootstock at the UMass Cold Spring Research Orchard (CSO) in Belchertown, MA was top-work grafted to ten cider apple varieties using bark inlays.

Disease susceptibility of 11 hard-cider apple cultivars in southeastern New York, 2006-2007. Eleven European cider apple cultivars were planted in spring of 2003. All trees were propagated on M.9 rootstock (Nic.29 strain), and trees were trained as a slender spindle using conduit posts supported by a wire that connected the posts 6 ft above ground. Trees were planted 7 ft apart within rows in a randomized block design with six single-tree replications for each cultivar. Trees were evaluated for susceptibility to diseases in 2006 and 2007. In 2006, trees were maintained with standard insecticide and herbicide applications, but no fungicides were applied at any time during the year. Incidence of apple scab and cedar apple rust on leaves was evaluated during summer. All fruit (regardless of maturity) was harvested on 6 Sep 06, moved to cold storage, and then evaluated for fruit decays in mid-November. In 2007, trees were again maintained with standard insecticides and herbicides, but they also received the following fungicide sprays (expressed as rates/A): 21 Apr – Dithane 75DF 3 lb; 1 May – Penncozeb 75DF 3 lb plus Nova 40WSB 5 oz; 10 May – Dithane 75DF 3 lb plus Nova 40WSB 5 oz; 17 May (full bloom) – Dithane 75DF 3 lb plus Topsin M 70WSB 6 oz; 26 May (petal fall) — Dithane 75DF 3 lb plus Flint 50WDG 2 oz; 5 Jun – Dithane 75DF 3 lb plus Topsin M 70WDG 12 oz; 21 Jun – Flint 50WDG 2 oz; 7 Jul – Topsin M 70WDG 15 oz plus Captan 80WDG 36 oz; 21 Jul – Topsin M 70WDG 12 oz plus Captan 80WDG 36 oz; 11 Aug – Topsin M 70WDG 8 oz plus Captan 80WDG 24 oz.
