I've got a small orchard here in the mountains of VA & am looking at hitting capacity pretty soon (all the cleared / fenced land I have). I've got room for maybe another 20 or so trees. What are your favorite apples, peaches, pears, plums, nectarines, &/or cherries? I'm mainly interested in some sort of consumption whether it's eating fresh, canning, baking desserts, etc. Not so much worried about for deer/bear since I have plenty of those already
Unless there's a very late ripening pear or apple (I've got some Arkansas Blacks & Goldrush apples) that's good for consumption... I saw BlueHills chart Native posted a link to, just not sure about some of those for consumption compared to the better known apples & pears since I've never heard of them. Thanks!
