I might have something interesting to bring along by then. Currently my much smaller list looks like this:
In ground & fruited:
Maiden Blush
Lamb Abbey Pearmain
Claygate Pearmain
Redfield
Gold Rush
In ground and not yet fruited:
Otterson
Colorado Orange
Mere Pippin, a roadside marvel found in Wiltshire, UK by Nigel Deacon and brought over to the States via Skillcult, from whom I bought the scion in '23, has shown it will not grow in high summer here, so it will be moved to a benign climate next spring. In its place I wish to plant a young Clarkās Crabapple which must be separated from the root mass of Bud118; which bore a single apple this year. (I might share that apple with the Better Half today.)

I absolutely love Fireside, although Iām in the Midwest. It makes great flavorful apples here, at least.
I also have requested Cara Cara Orange Crab from Derek. Iām curious how the orange crabs are similar to/different from each other. It will be be a fun adventure!

The Cara Cara I grafted last year failed, so I have another one on order from Derek. Iām also very excited about the roadside crab I found up in Missoula, 23 Brix and very intense, more flavor than the Ashmeadās that fruited here this year. I have Wickson grafted but not fruited, and Cherub and Cherry Crush, but I would really like to get a scion of Etterās Eden and Etterās gold.

Iām pretty sure it was your reviews that made me try Lamb Abbey and Claygate.

@NuttingBumpus , here is the current list of what I have in case you are interested in any. Some are first year grafts so might not have scion wood yet.
