Jackie,
 
I first tasted Liberty at a nearby orchard some years ago. They sell well 
there. I like the tartness and crunch, color and flavor. Keeps at least until 
New Years Day.
So, when considering an apple to grow in my yard Liberty topped the list. It 
was planted in spring of 2007 (purchased from Raintree on EMLA26 stock) and 
the first crop was harvested last Fall. Fine apple, trouble free regarding 
diseases; the one caveat may be you must take care not to stunt its growth by 
encouraging fruit too early in its youth. Liberty is the smallest of my trees 
planted the same season. Worth having.
