Hi Ed,

 

I don't have Ginger Gold but I like Vista Bella for a very early apple.  As with all early apple time of picking is crucial for texture, but if you get it just right it has a very crisp texture.  It's not particularly scab resistant--it also has large (white) flowers and although it is an early bloomer it was one of three apples that bore a full crop for me last year when a series of hard late freezes wiped out just about everything else.

 

For a Krispi treat that comes a bit later in the season Centennial!

Subject: [NAFEX] Early apples

Does anyone have experience with Ginger Gold? I have been told that it is a very good early season apple. I have a lot of later apples and would like a couple early ones. I do not like soft mushy apples. I would like to have a stick of scion wood if it is not too late. My apples here in central PA are beginning to push buds some and we have predictions of a weel of real spring weather.

 

The gooseberries and currants are showing green leaves now.
