Generally late blooming. Need full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility. Thin fruit to maximize quality and size. Susceptible to codling moth, apple scab, powdery mildew, and gophers. Generally cross-fertile, which means that the variety is not pollinated by itself, but by a different variety of the same fruit. Three or more varieties are best. Harvest 3rd year. All varieties are semi-dwarf on M-111 rootstock, a good all-around choice for apples, except Newton Yellow Pippin, which is on standard apple rootstock (about 20-30' unpruned), Unpruned, semi-dwarf trees reach 85% of standard (about 15-25'), but by pruning you can keep your tree to any desired height.
