As discussed earlier in this thread, Hanners Jumbo and Hanners Best appear to be different apples (though both quite large). Trees of Antiquity sells the latter.

Iā€™m sure the Temperate Orchard Conservancy has Hanners Jumbo. Iā€™ve seen and tasted fruit at Home Orchard Society events.

I took a look at their 12/21 scion list, and they do list ā€œHannersā€, though theyā€™re not more specific than that. You might have to write them to verify which variety (or varieties) they have.

They may the story about the cultivar names, and which are synonymous. They have an apple ID team, and Iā€™m sure thatā€™s come up.

For what itā€™s worth, Pomiferous claims that Hannerā€™s Best was purchased by Stark Bros. and renamed Stark Jumbo. That would make Hannerā€™s Jumbo a larger sport of Hannerā€™s Best, which was in turn a larger sport of Spokane Beauty.

I remember Stark Jumbo from their catalog back in the 70ā€™s. ā€œOne apple makes a whole pie!ā€
