I made an order for a dozen cider and perry trees today as an early birthday gift to myself this year. Excited to get them in the ground next spring. Here's the list!
1. Butt Pear - Perry (AKA Pear Cider) variety.
2. Yellow Huffcap - "Plant pears for your heirs".
3. Coxs Orange Pippin - Supposed to be the best tasting apple in the world.
4. Esposus Spitzenberg - Thomas Jeffersons favorite (oh yeah, mine too)
5. Dabinett - British classic. Good tannins. This one is front and center.
6. WSU AxP Crabapple - Couldn't find a good source for Wickson. This is next best.
7. Kingston Black - The "perfect" English cider apple. Can be tricky to grow.
8. Foxwhelp - Namesake for Foxwhelp Cider in CA. Can be a tricky one.
9. Golden Russet - This beautiful apple makes one delicious cider.
10. Ashmeads Kernel - Another British Classic. Hope a get a lot of fruit from this guy.
11. Harrison - An American variety that was long thought to be lost.
12. Campfield - Origin 1817. New Jersey.
13. Gravenstein - Northern CA classic. All over Mendocino, etc. before wine took over.
14. Red Gravenstein - This ones in the ground in the old orchard (1st one planted there since 1952).
