I know taste is subjective, but Goldrush right off the tree is the best tasting apple I've ever eaten. As described - it has a bit of tartness, but is also somewhat sweet and tangy. It really lights up the taste buds!! It's a balance of tastes I think most people will love. It develops more sweetness in storage, and it's one of the 2 or 3 BEST keepers. When I gave our first Goldrush apple - sliced up - to a couple camp members, their first response was, "Wow!! What kind of apple is THIS??" They loved it.
If you have red cedars or other junipers around, Goldrush does get CAR.
As far as wanting more trees .............. join the club.
I saw you posted previously about ground you have in the Adirondacks. Where at in the Adirondacks?? How far north??
