If you have any interest in heirloom apples (you know, the ugly ones that
taste unbelievably good) you have to check out:

gonna need more land.

Steve,

I checked out their web site and they offer four rootstocks of various
sizes. What was not clear was the possibility of selecting a
particular rootstock with a given variety. There must be a way to
do that, but I couldn't figure it out.


They do offer the option of selecting rootstocks.
These people appear to be strictly organic, which is fine whenever
possible. However, certain pests like Plum Curculio, Apple Maggot,
and Coddling Moths probably will require something stronger than
Rotenone, say Imidan.

Some of us do make organic gardening work quite well thank you.
