"Adam's is sold out for next season and I don't know who else carries it."

That's too bad, it was on my short list of apples I wanted to order from them. Any experience with the other newer resistant apples Crimson Gold and Crimson Crisp? I think the Crimson Gold is out of the same Czech breeding program?

I've tasted Crimson Crisp and it was also pretty tart and a nice apple but I'm running from memory of last year.

Cummins still has the Crimson Topaz

I purchased a Crimson Topaz tree on B-9 2 years ago with numerous other trees and the Topaz has been by far the slowest grower for me. Not sure if it does not like the heat down here in the south or maybe it needs a more vigorous rootstock. The tree looks healthy, just puny.

Chris, mine's on 111 and it does seem like a spurry tree that could easily get runted out on a full dwarfing rootstock. The small tree in my nursery had a lot of fruit for such a young tree. Should have removed them to keep the tree growing vigorously.

Sometimes you can coax a runt back to vigor by cutting off spurs and favoring only newest growth.
