  • Apples Catalogue 2019
    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.

    CRANE’S U-PICK 2021 6017 124th Ave. Fennville MI 49408 cranesupick.com | 269-561-5126 | [email protected] Another u-pick season is almost here, it doesn’t seem possible but this will be our 36th year! We have a really nice supply of tree fruit, with the exception of plums. The trees had a beautiful bloom but we had poor pollinating weather, so unfortunately no fruit set. There is a good crop of peaches, nectarines, and with the exception of Evercrisp, we have a nice supply of apples over all. Considering the spring we had, we feel very fortunate for the amount of fruit that we have. During most spring seasons we have 3 to 4 nights of below freezing temperatures, this year we had 10 which had us very worried about crop damage. U-pick blueberries will start the first week of July. It looks like the picking will be excellent and typically lasts for about 3 weeks. We have one raspberry patch now, the variety is Polana. It is growing nicely and should be ready for picking in late July or early August, and remain available until the 1st hard frost. Below is our estimated 2021 u-pick schedule. We hope everyone is able to visit our farm this season so please keep in mind that the weather here in SW Michigan can be unpredictable. Our phone message is updated daily and occasionally throughout the day, it is always a good idea to call (269) 561-5126 for the most current information.

  • Reliable Fruit Tree Varieties for Santa Cruz County
    for the Gardener Reliable Fruit Tree Varieties for Santa Cruz County lanting a fruit tree is, or at least should be, a considered act involving a well thought-out plan. In a sense, you “design” a tree, or by extension, an orchard—and as tempting as it may be to grab a shovel and start digging, the Plast thing you do is plant the tree. There are many elements to the plan for successful deciduous fruit tree growing. They include, but are not limited to – • Site selection • Sanitation, particularly on the orchard floor • Soil—assessment and improvement • Weed management • Scale and diversity of the planting • Pruning/training systems • What genera and species (apple, pear, plum, • Thinning peach, etc.) and what varieties grow well in an area • Pest and disease control • Pollination • Sourcing quality trees • Irrigation • The planting hole and process • A fertility plan and associated fertilizers • Harvest and post-harvest All of the above factors comprise the jigsaw puzzle or the Rubik’s Cube of fruit growing. In essence, you must align all the colored cubes to induce smiles on the faces of both growers and consumers. This article focuses on the selection of genera, species, and varieties that do well in Santa Cruz County, and discusses chill hour requirements as one major criterion for successful fruit tree growing. THE RELIABLE—AND NOT SO RELIABLE What Grows Well Here By “what grows well,” I mean what produces a reliable annual crop and is relatively disease and pest free. In Santa Cruz County, that includes— • Apples • Pluots • Pears

Tree size and stability, cropping characteristics, susceptibility to soil-borne pests and diseases and, to some extent, fruit quality are all affected by the choice of rootstock. To study these factors an apple rootstock Pomme de Neige experiment was planted at the Stoneville Pomme de Neige stock was originally Research Station in 1960.
