Prof. Kent - I agree with you at post #11 for late hangers. We also have Goldrush, Enterprise, Galarina, Kerr and an unknown greenish apple that hangs all winter. Most of our "eater" crabs are done & gone in October, but we have plenty of other apples and 2 crabs that hang on into winter. Those 2 crabs are All-Winter-Hangover and Winter Wildlife. When we chose our selections, our aim was to cover from September to January - or later with a few varieties. The longer we can keep them interested and coming back, the better - and not just for hunting. We like to see them through winter with some extra nutrition between our apples & crabs, browse-level plants, and our food plots.
Sandbur & Chummer both mentioned Kerr above. We have several Kerr too, and they hang on into December for us, - even on our young trees. As those trees get older & stronger, I suspect they may hold on longer, but only time will tell. I'm hoping for later on those. Kerr crabs are great eaters in October !!
Does Golden Russet require much fussing ?? If they need to be pampered, sprayed regularly for diseases, etc. - they won't work for us at camp. Just wondering.
