I have had a Cox from them for the past 4 years.  Some years it does better 
than others, but its still alive and totally healthy.  I'm mostly hoping for 
flowers to cross with hardier apples as I grew up eating Cox's Orange apples 
in my home town in Southern B.C. and I just love them.  One year it died back 
a bunch (we had just built our new and huge house which changed the wind 
patterns so it was funnelling all the cold Northwest winds right onto it) so 
I let one of the rootstock buds grow instead of rubbing it off.  So now it 
has a very nice tree growing from the rootstock on one side, but the Cox 
above the graft is still alive and doing ok!

I would give you one caution regarding rootstocks from Cornhill: I spoke to 
them about the Beautiful Arcade that their catalogue stated and was told that 
they graft on BA and Antonovka depending on the year, but they never change 
their catalogue so you never really know which one you will get.  So my 
beautiful tree is a 'who knows what' until it fruits, but either of Beautiful 
Arcade and Antonovka will be a nice addition to my collection so I don't 
really care.

Cornhill is a bit annoying with their shipping: they charge an arm and a leg 
and then they bend the trees over double in the box... and the trunk snaps 
every time!  I always ask them to prune them off to the size of the box cuz I 
get them with the broken top all leafed out and I have to prune it off 
anyway.  But they claim that I'm the only one who gets these broken in half 
trees,  I find that a little hard to believe.  Anyway, they have a fabulous 
collection and I will order from them again cuz the Pocket Gophers took out 
my Patten pear.  sigh

Subject: [nafex] Bramley and Cox's Orange Pippin Apples in the North
 
  Hello,

I was reviewing some spring catalogs and came across a Canadian nursery 
in New Brunswick selling Bramley and Cox's Orange Pippin (among many 
other varieties). They're grafted on Russian "Beautiful-Arcade" 
rootstock. Technically the nursery is in the same zone as I am (Ag Can 
4b). I contacted the owner and he told me they've been growing them 
sucessfully there for 30 years.

I would absolutely love to have either of these apples. However, I am 
still wary about these types being hardy here because previouly I had 
been advised that they would not survive. I have already lost a  Golden 
Russet here, although it was an unusual winter/ spring. I have Priscilla 
and Reine de Reinette growing at the moment.

Any thoughts?

What are early-ripening temperate/northern fruit crops (minor and major) that 
ripen before July in zones 5-7? 
The only ones that I am aware of are:

Strawberries (cultivated and wild) - in June 
Juneberries (Serviceberries, Saskatoons, etc.) - In June
Blueberries (i.e. cv. 'Earliblue') 
[?]Black-raspberries (i.e. cv. 'Jewel' - late June?)



Secondly, what are the July-ripening fruit crops (minor and major)?  Note: 
only some varieties of the following ripen in July...

Sweet-cherries 
Blueberries 
Apricot
Peaches & Nectarines
Blackberries & Black-raspberries
Apple 
Figs? (cv.?)

Please add any you are aware of to the above two schedules.


Thanks,
Steve; NJ
