Hey everyone,
New guy here in the southern tier of NY. Been doing lots of reading and finally decided to start a post.
By the map I'm in zone 5 but I'm a little higher elevation than most so to be safe I'm looking at zone 4 trees.
I'm looking at planting about 20 trees this spring, few for me but mostly for the deer. Disease resistance is important along with bearing lots of fruit annually. I didn't think we had cedar trees around here but I'm not too far from Cummins and they said they are indeed around so I guess Cedar apple rust is something to watch out for.
MM111 rootstock is my preference based on what I could find (supposed to be better in clay soils). B118 would be my second choice.
Let me know what you guys think of this list and anything else I'm missing! Some of the dates were a guess so I'm open to suggestions and corrections.
