Yeah I contacted them yesterday as well and they told me the bad news that they're all sold out of the Franklin apple tree again. Always a day late and a dollar short!

If those Franklins grow like your other trees / plots - you'll have a gold mine at your place. Correction .....A bigger gold mine.

I got an email from Cummins this morning that they had 10 more Franklin on Bud118 available for purchase so I quickly bought 2 of them. I look forward to making some hard cider with these apples in a few years...

Stark only has them for sale this year on their wholesale nursery that requires an order of 50+ trees.
They will have them retail Spring of 2018.

BV - Nope. I got a call from Cummins. I had let them know much earlier that I was interested in case they got any more Franklins in. ( I have a " BAT-PHONE " ) connection to them !!

I have been away to a trade show at the Hershey Lodge and a fishing trip to North Bay Ontario. Just want to give you an update on the Franklin Cider. "Apple Junkie" is correct on being sold out for 2017. I called Stark Bros the other day and found there is still some available on B118 for 2018. I am excited about adding 25 of the Franklin Cider to my apple tree plots on our property. My fascination with the Franklin is that it is the only variety of the hundreds growing on our 250 acre property that still had apples hanging in mid-February. The tell tale sign of deer trails in the snow leading to the tree and track activity beneath the canopy is good enough for me to say the fruit really attracts deer. I have spent over twenty years testing many varieties in search of the best apple trees for wildlife for our region. I honestly and whole heartily believe I have found a winner.

Is Stark Bros. selling those Franklins retail - or are they just for wholesale and you must order 50 trees at a time ?? ( for 2018 ).

Cummins said their shipment from Stark was arriving today. I was hoping to stop up and grab my order today but they asked me to wait until next week.

I believe they are now being offered both retail and wholesale for 2018.
