APPLES, APPLES and more APPLES

They will be in Fargo on the 27th of October at Scheel Home and Hardware parking lot. They will have Honey Crisp and Ever Crisp apples there. 70 $ for a BU at 40 to44 #. You can get smaller amounts. Great people to work with. Guy that runs it lives in North Fargo. LB

I bought a 1/2 BU a few weekends ago. Their Honey Crisp are amazing, love hand picking my own out of their stock. My youngest said the juiciest apple he's ever eaten.

Do you prune your trees to get that many apples? I often read a bird should be able to fly threw a tree.

Those damn Asian beetles, the sucky ladybug, destroyed most of the apples I had. Hate those damn things.

Yes,every spring ( march usually) I hack em up pretty good to help keep the yield down then after they bud and little apples appear i shake the trees hard to drop a mass of tiny apples and after all this still get several bushels, late summer into fall its a pain mowing,all day project picking apples before I mow,love/hate deal cant/won't cut the tree's down,had neighbor kids come over and fill 5 gallon buckets for their mom to make pies and such,they grew up and left me to fend for myself....

Need some opinions on apple trees. I’m looking at planting a couple trees in the spring. The local greenhouse is ordering the following:
Honeycrisp
Honeygold
Fireside
Cortland
Sweet Sixteen

What are differences between these varieties and what does everyone prefer? I’m looking for apples to eat not necessarily for baking.

Honeycrisp are great eaters. Think I read they are pretty fragile and have a pretty short season. That's why they're pretty expensive in the store, the $0.99/lb all of a sudden.

Honeygold! I have had a honeygold tree in my yard for 30 years. 2 different trees. They have produced the best eating apples around.

I read somewhere this fall that Honeycrisp apple trees are turning out to be not so great. I think that there’s a tree guy in Fargo that wrote about it. He’s a tree guru. I have not had the greatest luck with my honeycrisp tree. Never again.

I also have not had great luck -- usually because I let deer get them. Have a couple now that should produce soon.

I think they are fickle, but apples are great if you get some.
