Apples for sale.
In 2008 and 2009, Laurelle Oldford-Down picked, bagged and sold my apples! In 2010 and 2011, I had almost no apples!
I'm leaving this chart here because people are using it to see photos of varieties they are interested in growing.
My apple varieties vary
a little from year to year as some trees become biennial and produce a big crop
one year and almost none the next year.
My main variety is Wilmuta Jonagold (about 500 lbs). Wilmuta Jonagold is an
early strain of Jonagold. It is yellow with a red blush. As redder strains were
developed (Jonagored, DecCoster Jonagold, Nicobel) the flesh became less sweet.
So for the sweetest Jonagold look for Wilmuta Jonagold.
My secondary varieties are Bramley's Seedling, Chehalis, Florina, Fuji, Golden Russet, Honeycrisp, Hudson's Golden Gem, Jonafree, Liberty, Mutsu, Northern Spy, and Orenco (10 to 100 lbs of each).
My minor varieties are
Ananas Reinette, Ashmead's Kernel, Glockenapfel, Goudrenet, Golden Nugget, Grimes
Golden, Jefferis, Lord Lambourne, Pitmaston Pine Apple, Priam, Reinette Rouge
d'Etoilee, Roxbury Russet, St Edmunds Pippin, and Sweet 16 (less than 10 lbs
each).
Some of the apple varieties are shown below. This
page is primarily to help my customers identify the apples they received in
the 'mixed' bag of apples.
I have noted the apples
with 'bloom' (a white covering which polishes off easily), russeting (a rough
brown skin), long stems versus short stems, flushed red versus striped red,
conical versus round versus elongated shape.

In March of 2011, I became completely overwhelmed with emails. I was unable to answer them all. Apologies!
If your email requires an answer that I can write in a minute or two I will answer it quickly. If you email requires research on my part or a long answer, I may not answer quickly.
I'm a retired woman running a small nursery and orchard and there are only 16 working hours in each day.
Fortunately/unfortunately my web page attracts a lot of attention.
I'm trying to include on this webpage the answers to a lot of your questions so you do get your answer right away.
Puff, puff, puff.
