I've done some searching and it seems guys use whatever apples they have for ciders.
My question is if you where planting specifically for making cider, what varieties would you pick?
I have plans to plant another 1.5acre of apples next year, bench grafting this year. I focused on varieties for wildlife and long drop times when picking scions. Now I'm wondering if there are preferred apples for cider that I should keep those particular types on one side of orchard to keep harvesting efficient.
