Title: Message
I think you are correct, Ron; late-blooming cultivars are more susceptible to infection by the fireblight pathogen.  I think that the pervailing weather conditions later in the spring is more conducive to fireblight infection. -- Sam Brungardt

Had someone (I THINK it was Dr. Cummins) that late blooming apples are more susceptible to fireblight entering through the blossoms. Early bloomers come out when fireblight conditions are still low.
It would be interesting to cross reference Sam's list with fireblight ratings for the varieties.

I was intrigued by your message and so I did a quick check of internet resources and these are some late-blooming apple cultivars according to various sources.  It would be good to have some of the list members who have experience with these cultivars comment on whether they really are late blooming. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.

We (Earthaven Association, www.earthaven.org ) are looking for some scion wood for late blooming varieties to plant in a cold pocket. A couple that Tom Burford recommended at a recent workshop included "Ralls" and "Virginia Beauty". Anyone have some to offer and perhaps a few other varieties that they would recommend?
