I agree totally with Dave's comments below on apples for S. Ind.   We had them all for many years and they all had severe problems.  Spitz (as Dave says) and Ginger Gold proved to be most fireblight sensative varieties we grew (and we had 2 epidemic years).

 

For a great sauce apple which matures early I'd choose Pristine (resistant to some diseases) or Transparent.

gravenstein will ripen in august during the worst of the heat,  with attendent poor quality -  spitz should work as a pollinator (pollenizer? gawd,  I used to keep then straight!) if it lives thru the fireblight - Bramleys is a big tart apple,  but again ripens relatively early and like the rest of the English apples doesn't like heat - - all poor choices for your climate,  IMO, 

but,  hey,  whadda I know?

Subject: [NAFEX] apple questions

I need some advice on apples:  1)Can I grow a Gravenstein in southern Indiana?  2)  Will a Spitzenburg funtion as a pollenator?  3)  Is a Bramley a good apple for sauce and/or cider?  4) Is there a good source for all of them from one nursery? 

Jerry in southern Indiana
