I own Liberty, after trying it at a local orchard.
The apple is deeply red, tart and sweet (many tart apples and all tart cherries have more sugar than those lacking tartness). It keeps in my basement, which is more like a cellar, at least until Christmas. If they keep longer than that, I'll find out once there is a large enough crop to last that long. Great, if you like your apple tart and complex, to eat in hand and bakes well, too.
 
The tree is resistant or immune to the big four apple diseases: scab, fireblight, cedar apple rust and mildew. It grows rather slowly unless you strip it after blossom time for the first several years.
 
Dave Liezen, E. WA, z6 - where we're coming out of our fourth deep freeze this winter: unusual.
