I have some young apple trees now producing some nice apples. My favorites include Bramley's Seedling, Belle de Boskoop, Jonathan, York and Cameo.

What are the favorite (diseass resistant preferred)apples you grow -- and why do you like them? thanks!

Fruits of 'Idared' have been lasting the longest (on the trees) here on Camano Island.

At my location, I really like the English Apple 'Suntan'. It has some russet and a very sharp flavor. More acid than some would like, but it is also a good keeper and annually productive.
Another real good one for keeping, is Melrose, but it does get a little bit of scab, so will need a bit of spraying
One more I like is Roxbury Russet, a good keeper that ripens late and flavor is very rich, when full ripe. May not make it along the coast in cooler yards, but does fine at my site.
