  • 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.

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.

In 1994 a larger, replicated planting was established to provide enough fruit for cider making, and expanded in 1999. New varieties from France and England were added in 2001– 2008, including some old American cider varieties. The most recent addition was in 2013. Beginning In 2002, varietal ciders have been produced on-station using fruit from the trial, with the advice of an expert cider maker. The ciders are then sampled and evaluated for quality and marketability. The trial has included some 90 varieties including preliminary trials, replicated plots and screening test plots. Table 1.
