Yes... a long commitment to make if you don't like the apples after they grow. However, I've found that just about every apple tastes great "fresh from the tree". One of my best memories is of sitting on my horse in the remains of an old homestead orchard... back when I was about 15. The house was long gone... probably burnt down, but about a dozen trees still remained. I used to let my horse graze and just wander around beneath the trees... munching on windfalls... while I, from the comfort of my perch on her back (no saddle) would pick the choicest apples. When I would bite into an apple, it seemed as though, somehow, it had captured the essence of the hot August sun... No apple has ever come near to measuring up to those apples...

Check out www.sln.potsdam.ny.us I watched a show on PBS and sent away and got a catalog. This company goes to old farms and out of the way places to get apple tree starts from some of the older type of apple trees. In the catalog some of the trees don't even have names it just tells you about the apple. I bought 5 trees and when they came I thought that they were so small, but by fall they had grown 6 foot. They are now 3 years old and one of them had 3 apples on it last year. I am really happy with these trees. Good Growing....
