Considered the most important of the temperate climate fruits, apples have been a favorite for cultivation for hundreds of years.  It is thought that apples originated in the mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas where a multitude of wild varieties still exist and exhibit a wide array of different characteristics.  Apples traveled the world over and arrived in the US with the European immigrants.

Though they originally preferred climates with a good cold winter chill to produce, varieties are now available that can be grown almost anywhere.  All prefer an open site with good air circulation, out of the shadows of larger trees, with well-drained medium to heavy clay loam soil.  Occasional top dressings of manure or well rotted compost can be added to the soil if desired.  A mulch about the base of the tree is beneficial to young trees.  Trees should be pruned annually before budding.  Most varieties are not self pollinating and at least two compatible trees are needed for pollination.   When choosing varieties, make certain to pick trees that will bloom at the same time (early, mid, or late season), as indicated in the descriptions below.  These times are given for USDA Zone 5 of the US and may vary by location.  Crabapples (ornamental or fruiting varieties) can act as good pollinators.  Also, you may want to keep in mind that some apple varieties are naturally biennial - they produce large crops only every other year.  Others are annual heavy producers.  Although some trees are available on their own root systems, most modern apples are grafted onto vigorous rootstocks and are available in 3 sizes: 
Dwarf trees produce approximately 2-6 bushels of fruit per year and begin producing in 2-3 years.  At maturity, they reach between 6-8ft. in height, which makes them perfect for the smaller garden.

Semi-dwarf trees grow to an average height of 12-15ft. at maturity and begin to bear fruit in 3-5 years.  Average yields are between 8-12 bushels of fruit.

Standard trees reach 20-25ft. in height and begin to bear in about 5-6 years.  Annual yields are 10-15 bushels of fruit.

We have chosen what we consider to be the finest of the old and new varieties.  Pick the ones that are best for you.  
Our fruit trees are 4-5 ft. tall and have been pruned for planting.
