Blushing Golden was once a variety exclusive to Stark Bros.; I'm not
sure if it still is. Stark Bros. don't tell you much about the trees
they sell, not even rootstock type, but I strongly suspect BG is a sport
of Golden Delicious.

I planted a Blushing Golden five years ago, lured by one of Stark Bros.
end-of season sales. About half price. You can't be sure of the
rootstock with Stark Bros., but it looks to be on M-7.
My reply:
I have sworn off Stark Brothers. But at one time, I found that their growers actually returned phone calls and had no problem telling you exactly what the were using for stock, and reproduction techniques. It was just unfortunate that there was such a disconnect between those working the fields and those writing the brochures.
