Apples, If you were to pick just 3

[Native Hunter]

My Revised List for 2025:

For The Deer in Deer Season:
1. Kenner Seedling (AKA Rusty Coat) Just incredible for me this year. Long, Slow, Late Drop.
2. Yates
3. The later dropping Dolgo that WG sold

For Myself:
1. Priscilla
2. Sundance
3. Early Harvest

I know you posted about Kenner (Rusty Coats) on here somewhere. How are they for DR, Native? Might have to look into 1 or 2 for any replacements and/or cleared spots.

It grows very clean for me down here, so you should have no problem in your location.

That kenner, isnt keener is it?

I purchased some scion from turkey creek last year. He said he had some later dropping dolgo. Put a stick on a galarina I have growing. Could be wrogn here on dte. I did buy a dolgo from him in 2024. Not sure if that's a later dropping one.

You got it right with the mix though. Some later ones, and some reliable mid season producers.

I'll be putting another 12 rootstock in this year. Haven't decided yet if I'll graft this year or wait a year. The past 2 years have been very heavy snows, so I think i want to concentrate on late holding varieties to help the deer get through.
What are your favorite "winter" varieties?

Something I see reading back through a few years on, some guys didn't recommend any crabs because I stated "apples". In my mind "apples" means anything that has "apples" in the description. Crabapples, applecrabs, apples. Never meant to just ask about "apples".

Droptine, Golden Hornet and Winter Gold from Whitetail Crabs and Roadkill from Blue Hill all had crabs up until a week or so ago for me. All fast-growing, early age producers, and the fruit just hangs. Every time there’s a stiff breeze the tracks appear…
