My semi-dwarf Liberty is host to a number of varieties that I have stuck on it here and there. It’s my Frankentree.
Right now the Liberty (which will be probably 75-80 percent of the production) is in full bloom, and several of the other varieties are too, with a couple getting ready to follow suit.
I should have a few Galas, some State Fair, quite a few Montana Red, a handful of Haralsons, some Yellow Delicious, Supremes, Winesaps, Monarch, Jonagold, Pixie Crunch, Carousel, Karmijn d’ Sonneville, Rubinette, Prairie Spy, a Fireside or three … there is an unknown or two (from lost tags) that might give me a chance at ID’ing them this year. We’ve had a ton of bees out and about and no hard frost.
My pear (Parent tree Gold Spice) has Anjou, Seckel, Winter Nellis, Flemish Beauty, Frost, Pezzuti’s Pennsylvania Wonder, White Doyenne, maybe Dana’s Hovey. Clapp’s Favorite is on there but hasn’t produced yet.
It could be a good year, but we’ll see.
