Hi Doug,
I have not tried Spartan. I was interested and asked our sources about
it last year, but was told it will not do well in the South. I have
debunked that myth on a few northern apples, but did not get around to
trying Spartan yet. Why not try it? Has anyone in the South had any
experience with Spartan? If I do not hear anything negative, I will try
to order some ASAP for trial. Thanks for the suggestion.
While I was in BC this summer, I noted several varieties that I have
never seen before such as King's. Do you know of a source of trees in
the US for "BC" apples?
Jim

Jim, have you tried Spartan? It was bred by Agriculture Canada at
Summerland BC in the 1920s I think, McIntosh x Newtown. It produces a
quite high quality apple in the sunny hot dry Okanagan Valley. I like
the Ontario grown fruit but it seems to have taken second place here to
Empire. It's said to have some scab resistance.
