I'm a landscape designer who emphasizes producing high-quality fruits in
the landscape. I have clients who recall apple trees suitable for
climbing, though around here (southcentral PA orchard country) all the
apple trees are now dwarfs. (Annual pruning makes them look truly
deformed.)
Can anyone suggest cultivars of full-size apple trees that would make
great flowering trees in the landscape, grow big enough to provide shade
and to climb and sit in, and produce tasty apples? They would have to
be managed organically. The fruit would not have to look perfect, but
would have to taste great. Our biggest disease problem here is scab.
Thank you.
