I am sure this varies by region, though maybe less so today than 20 years ago.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-24010979640418307432023-10-04T14:25:19.959-04:002023-10-04T14:25:19.959-04:00Western WI: I too, would be interested in a post ...Western WI: I too, would be interested in a post that explored the big sevens (or tens maybe) from different regions (both in the post and in comments). <br /><br />I have been enjoying your blog so much that I have gone back to the beginning to read the posts through. I don’t know why it never came up on my earlier searches for apple varieties online.

McIntosh, honeycrisp, Cortland, Macoun maybe...

The wholesale market, which supplies what people see in their supermarkets, is not relevant to that project (thank goodness).<br /><br />But wholesale markets still matter for other reasons, which is why managed varieties are interesting. Please do share your thoughts sometime.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-27468008788744056262011-11-19T11:59:12.958-05:002011-11-19T11:59:12.958-05:00Hi Adam,

As you well know you won't find a honeycrisp or MAC, or anything of the "Big 7" on my farm. When all is said and dine I will have close to 200 trees of various russet apples, with a GREAT supply of each variety. I now have 60 cox oranges, and 60 Karmijn trees. We will top out with a modest 30 trees of Gray pearmain, and the buck doesn't stop there!Hawk Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931067529533766643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-14066043491805819102011-11-18T08:32:31.722-05:002011-11-18T08:32:31.722-05:00Kevin (kuffle), thank you!

It wasn't until years later when I first tasted a tree-ripened one that I realized its full potential. I can understand the University wanting to protect it's investment, as I can understand growers feeling shut out of a product that was funded with taxpayer money. Much of the troubles with the market is because of an apple-ignorant public that now longer grows its own food and tastes with their eyes. Thanks for being a tiny voice in the typhoon hollering for people to increase their apple variety knowledge!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
