So from what I can tell you are trying to find out what was used to cross pollinate the old Yellow Transparents? I live pretty close "The Ridge", which is world renown for apples and other fruit. Used to have a pair of trees just to the north of me, one was red and the other was purported to be a transparent. As far as I know they are still there with a ton of brush grown up around them. Only the deer know for sure  An old abandon orchard to the west of me had transparents too. Pretty sure the owner is still with us and I could probably ask him. Better yet try asking this guy first: http://www.hrt.msu.edu/staff/st_schwail.htm If he doesn't know, he will know who to ask. We still have quite a few old time orchard growers around here. If that is the Phil I think it is he grew up on a farm/orchard in this area. Let us know if you find out anything useful. Useful: http://www.starkbros.com/access?acti...4&collection=0 |
