Macintosh cross, with crisp and juicy texture that softens a bit after picking. Excellent for eating fresh and cooking; stores well.
Goodland (yellow flags, 15 trees)
Sweet and tart, crisp flesh. Excellent for eating and delicious applesauce.

Kerr Crab (purple flags, 4 trees)
This crab-apple works well for jelly, juice, baking and even for fresh eating, as it is firm, crisp and juicy, with a very good sweet-tart flavor. It is small size and dark purple-red color. They are ripe late in the season, usually October. They work very well in cider blends and are excellent keepers, up to 6 months when refrigerated.
Wealthy (blue flags, 10 trees)
Good eaten out of hand, makes good applesauce and cider, also nice baked into a crisp.
Goodmac (lime flags, 10 trees)
Another Macintosh cross. Great eaten out of hand and juices well, too. Stores well.

Sweet, tart flavor that varies depending on maturity of apple. Great for eating fresh, baked into a crisp or pie, as applesauce, or apple butter.
Liberty (orange flags, 27 trees)
