The thread below shows a lot of apples that are CAR resistant if anyone is interested. If I call an apple DR (disease resistant) that includes CAR.

Thread 'Native Hunter 2023 Apples'

Jun 2, 2023

This looks to be a good year for apples where I live. I have some common, as well as some unusual varieties. I thought maybe some folks might enjoy a thread where I document the apples as they ripen through the year. All of my apples are no spray, so you may see a few bug bites, etc....
I picked my first two apples for the year today. This variety is called Striped June (aka Margaret). They are a small apple ranging from about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter. The taste is on the tart side, and they cook really well. I've never tried drying this apple but will probably do some this...

Ended up ordering an Enterprise, Arkansas Black, Gold Rush and a Morse Wildlife Apple from Morse Nursery. Set delivery for during MO's turkey season in April.

Which rootstock are you getting?

How is enterprise with CAR? I contacted Morse and they will switch out the gold rush. Based on their resistance list maybe a Liberty?

Enterprise has good resistance, and Liberty does as well. Neither of them are late dropping here, but are both good apples. Enterprise is later dropping than Liberty and might go into October here in some years. Both are later in the North.
