No, I said (or maybe I didn't, but what I meant to say was) Raintree Nursery has 5 different *crosses* of Cox's
Orange Pippin


Yes, that is what you said and now when I reread it I see I made a mistake. However, my mistake proved to be very serendipitous. Your link to Applesource convinced me I shouldn't try to grow a Cox's Orange Pippin apple tree. I live within 100 miles of Chapin, IL and the summers here are to warm for Cox's Orange Pippin. Applesource will be a great source for obtaining samples of different varieties of apples and recommendations on which varieties of apples are suitable for Central Illinois. I am particularly interested in growing some thing different than Delicious and McIntosh apple trees.

I thank you for all the great links to sources of apple trees. Howard.

I was looking at the Raintree page, I was wondering:
What is the best size to buy? Looks like those 'whips"
will take forever to grow(and we have to worry about deer here, who LOVE apples)...
