Orchard 1 Candidates:

1. Early Golden
2. Lambert (suppsedly larger than Early Golden with few seeds(?))
3. Burhman (supposedly purple bloom and dark maroon fruit) - probably
not a match for any of the remaining trees
4. Josephine (supposedly like Early Golden but slightly earlier)

Hello Pete,

I have no experience with variety 2, 3 and 4 and I can't help you with those. As for ripening dates that can vary year to year as well as by location. Color can vary year to year. Making an undisputed identification is nearly impossible.
