  • The Giving Grove Recommended Varieties Criteria
    The Giving Grove Recommended Varieties Criteria: Recommended cultivars are based on disease resistance (critical importance), later blooming time, storage life, tree size and soil adaptation (root stock), and flavor quality – with an emphasis on “ease of maintenance” Recommended Conditions: • Sun Access - Full sun preferred (6-8 hrs required, morning sun helpful) • Air Movement – Light wind keeps disease at bay and deters frost. Slight slopes encourage air movement • Soil – Recommend good drainage and good soil fertility Apple Selection is based on immunity to Apple Scab, high resistance to Fire-blight, Cedar Apple Rust and Powdery Mildew. In most cases you need two varieties to adequately pollinate each other unless there is a nearby crabapple tree. Trees are listed in order of ripening time. ‘Pristine’ Apple (mid-late season flowering) This PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois Universities) selection ripens in late July, producing large crops of yellow apples that are crisp and tasty. They are mildly tart and excellent for fresh eating, baking or in applesauce. The trees are healthy, highly resistant to apple scab, cedar apple rust and somewhat resistant to powdery mildew and fireblight. ‘Williams Pride’ Apple (mid season flowering) Another PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois Universities) selection that ripens in August. Dark red apple with excellent tart fruit quality. Field immune to apple scab; field immune to cedar-apple rust; high level of resistance to fire blight; good level of resistance to powdery mildew. ‘Liberty’ Apple (early-mid season flowering) Liberty is very similar to appearance to McIntosh, but its flavor is a bit more tart and its flesh is crisper.
