Lisa, I did a lot of internet researching to decide on a few apple cultivars
for my
poor soil & z4-5. Wolf River was one I chose because it was always described
as
disease-tolerant & grower friendly. (My main goal is a reliable, easy care
orchard,
with variety.) This was also the last cultivar of apple to die in an
abandoned
orchard (1930's or 40's) in this neighborhood. I hesitate to post all my
notes here
because it could get very long-winded, and my search was region- and
culture-specific. I recommend you do google-searches with key phrases. Lots
of
info available!
