For me it would be Lodi then closest would be JonaMac, 6A.

Give me a few years Art, I'll be able to give you a big list. :)

Lodi, Zestar
(Zestar is superior by fa; a good fresh eating apple. Lodi is tart. Good for pies.)
Mid-September - Scarlet Surprise, Dayton, Wealthy
Zone 5

>>>SCARLET SURPRISE!

Wiiliams pride and Redfree. Plus an unknown green crabapple that makes good apple sauce. . Zone 6

 

[Turkey Creek]

Pristine, then possibly Geneva. Zone 5b

One year I saw ripe Whitney crabs in late July. That would be a zone 4 location.

A friend says Norland is early for him, in a zone 4 location.

Zone 6B.

Striped June starting about mid June
Bevan's Favorite about three weeks later
Summer Champion just finished harvesting
Next will be Priscilla in a few more days.
After that, Betsy Deaton
Most of the rest of my apples are much later in the year

Pristine, Sansa.

It’ll be another year or two but it should be Zestar and Chestnut Crab. Zone 4B

I believe ACN 's chart is based on growing zone 5.

I found no mention of the crabs I like to plant, or of Norland. Maybe I missed it, but it reflects regional differences in apples.

ACN is in zone 6. South-central Pa. not far from Gettysburg ( of Civil War note ). Many orchards in Adams County for apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears.

Zestar which I think is as good an apple as any then Ginger Gold I am in 5B. Plums are ripening now with some peaches as well

 

[CedarSwamp]

Yellow Transparent then Zestar, but Zestar hasn’t produced much yet. I know Yellow Transparents are not know for their Disease Resistance, but we have good luck with them.
4b

I will add Norland Crabapple and Whitney Crabapple to beef up on our early season trees

Some Whitney’s run later. One time I heard that two different varieties may be called Whitney? True or not?

Do you have much CAR? If so, which varieties seem to be resistant?

Have no cedars here , very few cannot think of any within a half mile or more , We treat for scab aggressively and use a fair amount of fungicide early season so may cover up some potential CAR out breaks , When we planted Dandy red we thought in our location ripe early September been fruiting three years now pick and check every year last year aug 15 seemed about right , they are fully red now .

Zone 3b

Of my apples that are producing, it would be State Fair, and Dolgo Crab apple. I dont have any that ripen in July, basically I have August through November covered.
