A unique seedling i tried tonight that the owner calls juicy fruit. I won’t specify the owners name! Mike and I tried them and we enjoyed this seedling. Thank you for the oppurtunity to try it! It tastes a little like juicy fruit gum.
My favorite apple you have likely never seen before is milo gibson. I wont specify where i was when i took these photos or who all these unique apples belong to. I will let others chime in if they want to. Some of these seedlings are ultra rare! Those orange flesh crabapples have a very good flavor!
Milo Gibson named after a gentleman who belonged to NAFEX. Those who know this one can vouch for it! Blows every other apple away today! I cant tell you how hard it is to grow though i will stake my reputation on the amazing flavor.
Here’s my list of the most unique apples I’ve heard about
Kerr crabapple
Cinnamon girl and Red cinnamon
Muscat de Venus - unique strong grape taste
Milo Gibson - strong anise flavor
That Milo Gibson wow! I didn’t get anise from it i tasted concentrated real apple flavor. Many apples taste washed out but not this one it is amazing! Red cinnamon i have to agree is excellent! You need to try that orange fleshed crabapple!
I’m not sure yet where to send anyone to get these scions. This was my first experience with this apple. Im going to do my best to make sure they are available in the future.
A friend of mine is working with NAFEX on gettiing them trees of Milo Gibson since Milo was one of their founders that is very important to that group.
Fat boy orange flesh crabapple we will make sure becomes available in the future.
I’m also interested in making sure more crabapples in general get out there.
I think i will topwork wickson or another apple with fatboy this coming year. Wickson has been a dissapointment to me at my location.
Oh, man, these all look super interesting!
I have been looking for an orange fleshed apple for years! That fat one looks really good.
Would there be any way to get seeds of that variety over to Europe? I would be super interested to grow out acres and start breeding with it in the future.
Wow that orange flesh one does look “really unique”. My clarks crab bench graft grew a good 4ft and I have a stick I think is still good to try a fall graft. Milo gibson unfortunately I dont think took…
Nice looking orchard. Any rough idea what the spacing between rows/trees is? Im assuming those are semi-dwarf?
That really is a striking color. Glad to hear they are not all looks though. Hopefully the owner lets you get the genetics out there. Even op seed would be fun to see the variations with that as a base.
