  • Apple Fruiting
    Apple Fruiting ________________________________________________________________________ Spur and Semi-spur Apple Varieties – Over 1000 spur and semi-spur varieties listed. Apple trees that have fruit on spurs or semi-spurs are more dwarfing. They also require special pruning techniques. Tip and Partial-tip Apple Varieties – Over 350 varieties listed. Fruit are borne on the tip of the branches, and are weeping and require little to no pruning. ________________________________________________________________________ Apple Fruiting 1 12/8/06 SPUR-TYPE FRUITING APPLES FOR THE HOME ORCHARD For home orchardists there are several advantages in growing spur–type trees. As the name indicates, the fruit is borne on spurs. Spurs are slow growing leafy shoots and have a mixed terminal bud. A mixed terminal bud will produce shoot and flowers. In apples, spurs develop on two–year old shoots from axillary buds located at the base of each leaf. Axillary buds on a spur can give rise to shoots or new spurs. A branched spur system forms after several years when new spur form on old spurs. Spur–type strains are more dwarfing than the standard stain. When spur and standard strains were compared in Washington rootstock trials, the spurs were 25% smaller than standard stains. Spur–type apples have a growing and fruiting characteristic in which lateral (axillary) buds on two year old wood gives rise to a higher portion of spurs and fewer lateral shoots than occur with standard growth habits. This gives the tree a more open canopy and compact growth habit than standard trees. Research indicates that they have approximately half the canopy volume of standard strains.

  • Albemarle Pippin Originated As Early As 1666 in New York & May Be
    Albemarle Pippin Originated as early as 1666 in New York & may be even older. Its long & colorful history includes such characters as Benjamin Franklin & Queen Victoria. This variety became closely associated with Albemarle County Virginia where it was grown by Thomas Jefferson. “Pippin” means “seedling,” a common term among heritage varieties that refers to a variety’s beginning as a chance seedling, as opposed to being intentionally cultivated at first. Ben Davis In the late 1800s, Ben Davis was as popular as Red Delicious is today. It was the premier commercial apple of the time, being shipped & sold everywhere, and familiar to everyone. In the first decade of the 1800s, Kentucky resident Ben Davis planted a few apple trees that originated in either Virginia or North Carolina. Mr. Davis faded into obscurity, but his name became attached to the apple variety from his orchard. It gained enormous popularity and was planted throughout Kentucky and surrounding states. For about 40 years following the Civil War, Ben Davis was unrivaled as a market apple due to its hardiness in transport and its long shelf-life. Brushy Mountain Limbertwig Limbertwig is a family of apples consisting of at least 16 varieties. Pendant branches, as the name implies, is obviously a distinguishing characteristic, but some Limbertwig varieties don’t fit this pattern. Many claim that there is a distinctive Limbertwig taste common to all these varieties. The specific origin of Limbertwigs is lost. The earliest record dates to the late 1700s in Virginia. The Brushy Mountains, located in the North Carolina foothills of the Blue Ridge, has been a significant commercial apple region for many years.

  • Tom Brown Apple Search---2013
    1 To: Friends of Old Apples January 12, 2013 From: Tom Brown Apple Search---2013 The past year was a rewarding one for apple discovery because I potentially found the apple that started my apple search about sixteen years ago---the Harper’s Seedling apple. In the very early years of my apple search I found an excellent apple in Wilkes County called a Streaked June near the home of Sherrill Pardue. I grafted it and planted a tree in my orchard. Years later when I checked back, the original tree had died. The apple name never really made sense because this “June” apple ripened in late August. Even though I might not initially find an apple such as the Harper’s Seedling, I keep thinking about it and continue to compare apples I encounter to the descriptions I have. This year I had many well-colored Streaked June apples; I realized that it fit the description of my long-lost apple. I then took some of the apples and showed them to the one remaining person who remembered the apple, Ricky Evans; he said “Yes, it looks just like the Harper’s Seedling”. Ideally I would like to have three identifications, but the apple discovery process is often a race against time and while I was looking for the apple, two people who remembered it passed away and the memory of another has greatly dimmed. Other apples found include the following: Appalachian Limbertwig (probably), August Beauty, Aunt Sally, Big Boy, Big Red, Bitter Sweet, Black Ammit, Carter County, Cheese (England), Corder, Ell Star, Ernest Blair Well Apple, Fall Astor, Fired, Haycock, High Top Sweet (green), Lady Williams, Pitney, Pumpkin Sweet (lg., yellow), Red Astor, Rose Sweet, Ruusin Ball, Striped Virginia Beauty, Summer Sweet, Summer Treat, Tendersweet, Thinskin, Vandever, and Water Luscious.
