| I lost some apple trees to deer, so it is time to plant apple trees again. This place has limited semi-dwarf apples for fall delivery. I'll order some now and may order a few more from other places. This is what they have: Arkansas black My apples will be for fresh eating, may make some cider if I have too many apples. So I want the apples to be sweet tasting. But will certainly consider some special apple (like Granny Smith) for a change. I'm thinking of: Not sure if I miss anything good here. Thx. |

| Drop the Lodi, eary apple that is hard to get good. I like the rest of your list. Although I would suggest getting Suncrisp from somewhere to put in in the spring. Suncrisp is ripe in Oct. It has an awesome tropical flavor. Everyone I have shared with has been in love with it. Iti s not a good one for apple deserts recipes, as the tropical tones clash wit the rest of the recipe. Although i have not had enough to make this, it I fantasize about suncrisp apple sauce. |

| My local nursery even has a Suncrisp tree for sale. I may get some more in spring, like Honeycrisp, Golden Russet, Sansa, Zestar and Granny Smith. I think there may be some duplicate in terms of flavor. I prefer not to grow two Gala, or two Fuji if there is some slight different (even similar) in flavor. |
