Lisa, I did a lot of internet researching to decide on a few apple cultivars 
for my
poor soil & z4-5.  Wolf River was one I chose because it was always described 
as
disease-tolerant & grower friendly.  (My main goal is a reliable, easy care 
orchard,
with variety.)  This was also the last cultivar of apple to die in an 
abandoned
orchard (1930's or 40's) in this neighborhood.  I hesitate to post all my 
notes here
because it could get very long-winded, and my search was region- and
culture-specific.  I recommend you do google-searches with key phrases.  Lots 
of
info available!
