    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

  • Sweetango Shipping from Applewood Is Under Way
    - Advertisement - SweeTango shipping from Applewood is under way September 4, 2019 Applewood Fresh Growers LLC packed its first SweeTango of the season over Labor Day weekend. “Now we’re rocking and rolling” in the new Michigan apple season, said Scott Swindeman, who owns the Sparta, MI-based firm. Applewood's SweeTango harvest began Aug. 26. The fruit “needs to sit for four or five days before packing,” thus the delay until Labor Day. “In Michigan, the color and finish on the fruit is by far the nicest crop we ever had," said Swindeman. "The size is a little disappointing, but the crop is very, very good.” 1 / 2 Overall in Michigan, the apple crop is three or four days later than a year ago. “We’ve had outstanding weather,” Swindeman added. “We’ve had cool temperatures at night and sunny days. We are experiencing the kind of weather we always like to have at this time of the year. For the previous two or three years, it was not like this early on” in the harvest season. Applewood’s harvest of McIntosh and Premier Honeycrisp, an early-maturing Honeycrisp straink, was just beginning in the first week of September. Swindeman said the Premier Honeycrisp harvest comes two or three weeks ahead of the regular Honeycrisp variety. “It’s nice to get started a couple weeks early,” he noted. “The color, quality and condition are fabulous.” Gala harvest in Swindeman’s orchard in southeast Michigan was under way in early September. According to the firm, Applewood Fresh is the lead marketer in the Midwest for the SweeTango, which comes from a Minnesota breeding program.

  • 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.
