Norkent Apple

If you did a 4X4 planting, 36 inches apart, you could fit 4 varieties in there. Or a multi graft tree with several varieties.

I think I saw norkent available konrad. I was personally looking for a honeycrisp. Any reason why you picked norkent?

Fireball, I wont do the dave wilson method. The area is already dense enough. To the left there is a russian olive, carmine jewel, climbing hydrangea, toka plum and a seedling plum within 6 feet. I can get one more fruit or decorative tree there, with some fruiting shrubs and things to fill in space and increase production.

I was thinking about Honeycrisp,..Norkent is just as good taste wise, better for our zone, honeycrisp might make it at your place, have tried it at the orchard for over 10 years but freezes back..gave up, now I have it in a sheltered spot at home and looks like I will have a couple to taste this year. Needs a long season, some years with early hard frost it can not ripen out, even for the city of Edmonton.

Honeycrips was developed in Minn, and my climate is a lot closer to theirs than edmontons. I at least know i like the taste of honeycrisp, its been available for a few years here in supermarkets.

What can you tell me about goodland apple Konrad? The closest nursery has gravstien (sp), hazen, harolson and goodland.

sweet sixteen

Had sweet sixteen for about 6 years and kept dieing back until it died, might try again in a more sheltered spot. Goodland is not the best for eating,..too much acid, good cocking apple.
