A mid bloom period apple could be used to pollinate either an early or late bloom period apple tree. Do not combine a late bloomer with an early bloom period apple. Apple trees are available in two sizes: 1) Standard – mature size 20’-25’ in height and 25’-30’ width 2) Semi-Dwarf (S-M7) – mature size 12’-15’ in height and 15’-18’ width —————————————————————–EARLY BLOOM—————————————————————— Hazen (Malus ‘Hazen’): Standard (Natural semi-dwarf).

Draper Extension plant pathologist Without question, the most common and aesthetically damaging disease of apples and crab apples in South Dakota is apple scab. Susceptible varieties can be defoliated Rhoda Burrows by midsummer in severe years. Extension horticulturist Cool, wet conditions in May and June favor early disease development. Under those Kim Maxson-Stein conditions, both leaf and fruit infections can occur. In severe cases of early infection, Extension plant diagnostician there may be fruit drop. Early defoliation weakens trees and increases the likelihood of winter injury or injury from other pests. Infected fruits are blemished and often severely deformed. While a single season of apple scab does not seriously harm apple trees, heavy defoliation causes the trees to be less attractive, reduces growth and yield, and increases susceptibility to winter injury, predisposing the trees to other pests.

Tree Fruit Varieties for the Great North Woods
Education Center and Info Line practical solutions to everyday questions Toll free Info Line 1-877-398-4769 M-F • 9 AM - 2 PM Tree Fruit Varieties for the Great North Woods Growing fruit in Coös County and other colder sites in New Hampshire can be challenging for the home grower. Winter temperatures of -30o to -35o F or even colder are not uncommon. A short growing season, often as short as 90 days is an additional risk fruit growers face in the Great North Woods. The tree fruit varieties listed in this fact sheet have been selected with these limits in mind. They have been selected for their ability to withstand winter temperatures common in northern New Hampshire and ripen a crop of quality fruit in a short growing season. Pest resistance and value for certain uses such as canning or freezing have been noted where appropriate. A partial list of nurseries that offer many of these tree fruit varieties has been included at the end of this fact sheet. Fruit trees require a significant commitment of time and effort. Information on the cultural requirements for the Figure 1 – Liberty apple ready for harvest. various fruits is available at County Extension offices Photo: W. Lord throughout New Hampshire. See the website at: www.extension.unh.edu Apples Most apple cultivars will not set fruit without cross pollination. Plant at least two varieties to ensure cross-pollination. In addition, insect pollination by honey bees and a variety of native pollinators such as bumble bees is essential. We recommend apple cultivars with resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust and other apple diseases for home gardeners.

The Crunch Factor
The Crunch Factor: Apple Development at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Slides and Content –Courtesy of: • David Bedford • James Luby • Emily Hoover • Karl Foord • Peter Moe Apple Coevolution and Dispersal • Animals are attracted to the fruit and unknowingly spread the seeds. Human Dispersal • Apples are believed to have originated in Kazakhstan which was part of the ancient silk route. • As traders passed through that region they picked apples, ate them and dropped the seeds along the way . Further Dispersal • These seeds grew into trees that produced fruit and were further spread throughout Europe and Asia. Domestication by Grafting • Through the use of grafting, the Greeks and Romans were able to cultivate superior specimens from wild trees. • They spread them throughout the civilized world. Apples in the New World • Eventually apples made their way to America with the early settlers.
