Late August. Striking red-skinned sport of Bartlett, this is the red pear you see at the grocery store. Actually a little sweeter, higher sugar content than regular Bartlett. Slightly less vigorous growth. Not fireblight resistant but we wanted to offer some all-red pears for trial.

(Prunus tomentosa) -Full Sun to Part Shade– 8′ high x 6′ wide, self fertile but pollinates better with two, low maintainance
We hesitated to offer these bush cherries for years, assuming that no-one would want to bother with a hard-seeded fruit too small to pit. However, after interacting with our plants the last few years, we now see their value as a delightful out-of-hand snack and a plant that will thrive under utter neglect. It is one also one of the first things to bloom in the spring, only preceded by our apricot tree. The glossy, slightly peeling, reddish-brown bark provides interest even in the winter. The bushes reach 8’ high if unpruned and about 6’ wide. Can grow and even fruit in shade, though more fruit is produced in full sun. Somewhat self-fertile, but really best with a second plant as a pollinator (these are seedlings so any two plants should work). Our seedlings have some white- and pink-fruiting individuals in the mix but will be mostly red.

Pseudocydonia sinensis -Full Sun– Ornamental flowers, bark and fall foliage, fragrant edible large fruit used for jelly, 10-20′ tall x 7-15′ wide, well drained soil, self fertile but better with two
Chinese quince is a very ornamental tree with flaking bark similar to sycamore, pink spring blossoms, and good fall color and large, fragrant fruit that makes great jelly. Needs full sun and well drained soil.

-Full Sun– Semi-Dwarf on M-111, Space 15′-20′ apart, Needs Pollinator
Early Fall. Edible crab apples are beautiful bloomers as well as disease-resistant fruit producers. Chestnut Crab is famous for its incredibly sweet but complex 1-1/2” fruits that are red striped over yellow background. Perfect size for children to munch down if there’s any left for them! Good for a sweet, no-sugar added applesauce. White blossoms. Not the best keeper, about a month.

Late Summer. Great edible landscaping choice – beautiful red flowers and foliage, and 2″ round fruits are red all the way through the flesh. Their intense color, sharp flavor and slight astringency makes them great for cider, jelly, and fancy preserves. Darren really likes them fresh too, especially paired with cheese. Hardy variety zones 3-6

Late October. Hudson’s is a little more refined in surface appearance than other russet apples—yellow skin with light russeting. It is noted to have some resistance to diseases, and all russets are slightly more insect resistant due to thicker skin and harder young fruitlets. This apple is hard, dry and tart at ripening time but mellows out to a sweet pear-like flavor in storage. Good keeper.

-Full Sun– Dwarf on Bud 9, space 6′-10′ apart (stake), needs pollinator
Early November. An heirloom apple most often noted for its disease resistance, general hardiness and outstanding keeping abilities. Very late to ripen, fruits are a gorgeous dark purplish-red and rock hard at picking. Time in storage softens them a little and the flavor goes towards the sweet side. Extremely good storage apple–we still have some that are soft but edible in our fridge in May!

Mid October. Known for its refreshing crisp and juicy texture. Yellow delicious-type flavor that has a hint of licorice in the background and much less mealy. A greenish-yellow when ripe, fruit is large compared to most apples. Supposedly susceptible to some diseases yet we are offering it because it has been a star performer for us even with neglect! Actually beats out some of the apples with known disease resistance. Decent keeper. [NOTE: Mutsu is a triploid variety; it does not provide viable pollen, and still needs a pollinator; plant with two other varieties to have fruit on all of them]

-Full Sun– Dwarf on Bud 9, space 6′-10′ apart (stake), needs pollinator
Early August. An outstanding disease resistant apple from the PRI breeding program. Cherry red over most of the apples; a few may have hint of green on shade side. More flavorful and crisp for fresh eating than most summer apples. Also a good farmer’s market potential due to its earliness and bright cheery color! Like most summer apples, not a good keeper—maybe 3 weeks with good cold storage.

Mid September. Touted as the most disease-resistant of the PRI apples, this tree has performed remarkably well for us, producing flawless shiny fruit with minimum of care. Seems to resist insect damage as well as fungal diseases. We recommend Liberty the most of all our apples. Fruit is deep purple-red on the sun side and bright green on the shade side, having a flavor like a more sprightly and crisp McIntosh. Need to thin this variety heavily or fruit size can be small. A decent keeper in storage.
