Martha:

     Of those you list below as late bloomers, based on growing all these (and the ones on Sam's list) at Rocky for a number of years, only Stearns is late bloom and is no near as late as Ralls to break or bloom.

     Of those commonly grown in commerce, only Rome and Golden are considered "late" bloom which is on the very end of Gala, Akane, Rubinette, Roxbury and Fiesta season.

     Perhaps I don't know what is desired on this thread.

I have been researching late blooming apples for my location in high elevation New Mexico.  We get such big swings between day and night temperatures that early bloomers are likely to get frosted.  Sam's list is very similar to ones that I have come up with. Please note that I haven't been here long enough to test them here.  I may have more info after this bloom season.  You might also consider Elstar, Porter, King of the Pippins, Akane, Rubnette, Roxbury Russet, Smokehouse, Stearns & Fiesta.  I have noticed some inconsistencies between the Brogdale site & the New Book of Apples (England), versus Apples for the 21st Century (Oregon), versus Trees of Antiquity Catalogs(Califonia) versus other sources.  The bulk of things remains the same but some appear to be different perhaps less temperature based and more daylength based?  Golden Delicious is successful here so I have used that as a yardstick and I consider apples that bloom around the same time or later that is assuming t
 hat bloom time info is even available for the particular apples.

Some of Sam's list I have dropped because we have a short cool season and ones like Arkansas Black probably won't ripen here.

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.
