I would say in my life I’ve wasted $100 a year on a lot less useful things than apple trees.
But truthfully I’ve toyed with the idea of a u-pick farm or selling at farmer’s markets. I’m really keen to see how Evercrisp does with my growing style. The orchard close to me that does have it, sprays pretty heavily and a lot more regularly than I do. If it does well for me though I think it’s a good u-pick or farmers market apple. Pair it with Honeycrisp and you’ve got a pretty long selling season.
