Terrible in my opinion. Insanely tart. Gets a decent amount of sugar going late October though.

I would have to say it’s my top wildlife deer tree at this point. It starts to slowly drop about mid October and have seen it hang on till until late march. They don’t last that long up at camp. It’s produces annually and is very insect and disease resistant so far.

This one I noticed scouting during bow hunting during the rut in a pasture thicket a few years ago. Grafted on Dolgo rootstock and will be going in the orchard next spring.

I’m in zone 4/5 in sw Wisconsin. The apples have light pink almost orange flesh and can get up to 2 inches in size.

Here is another that really sparked my interest. I have 4 in my nursery grafted on to m111.

I’ve been scouting road sides, parks , neighborhoods, farmsteads and pastures for years. Ive added a select few to our orchard. Meadows crab is the first tree added. Extremely happy with these 2 trees I planted in 2018. They are on B118.

The Galarina tree was planted in 2017. First pictures we have of this buck is from 2016!

Yes. Either a tumor or just a fatty ball like some Labs get in old age. He also had osteoporosis.

It’s a Galarina on B118

My cousin killed a 12 year old buck searching for apples under this tree last Early October. It was loaded last year and was loaded with blossoms this year.

On the trees I actually know the variety Arkansas black might be the last to get going for me. Followed by enterprise and Florina. Al those tress are on b118. Which does very well for me. Side Note. Trees in my nursery wake up later in m111 here compared to b118

Galarina Liberty and Enterprise still reign supreme at my place for apples apples. Liberty blooms earlier for me compared to the others. Crabapples thats a different story. I really like the varieties I’m working with!!

Actually had to give up on the tree bark grafting because the bark was so thin on this tree compared to other trees I’ve topworked. So I did a cleft graft on the lowest branch.

Galarina in background yesterday for comparison. And the apple is on the far left from last September.

Not sure what they sent me but this tree is in the process of getting top worked. The tree was supposed to be a Wickison. It’s definitely not. Whatever it is it’s horrible in every way. No acid at all and very mealy. I’m converting it to Galarina, sweet 16 and maybe Williams pride next year...
