Sam (and others whom interested):

     I don't know where your info came from but the only cultivars are your list that are truly late/bloom are as follows.

Court Pendu Plat (terrible quality, very low production)
King Edward (so so or mediocre quality although large size)
Northern Spy (decent quality, very delinquent to bear and very biannual)
Spigold (great quality, moderately deliquent to bear, very biannual and will get 100' tall on dwarf roots!!)
Ralls Genet (perhaps the latest of commonly available souces)
Sweet 15 (perhaps the very BEST in quality, but has other baggage)

Some on your list are extremely early to bloom including Braeburn Newtown Pippin and Winter Banana (often used to pollinate Red Delicious....also early).

Some bloom over a long period (early to mid season) include Gala, Golden Deliciuos to name a couple.

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.

Subject: [NAFEX] Seeking late blooming apple scion

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?
