I want to let all who have read this thread that my motives telling you about the "Franklin Cider" is not to self-promote. I don't need to because I think all of you have gathered now, after reading the links I provided, the Cider Industry demand for the Franklin will far exceed availability. What does motivate me is sharing a passion to grow the best Apple Tree Plot possible for my wildlife projects. I have over the years looked at hundreds of chance seedlings hoping to find the perfect apple. It was the good fortune to recognize the Franklin for its potential use in the cider industry and the attraction it has for wildlife. I fully understand its attributes and I can say for certain it will prove itself to be one of the best for my wildlife projects.
