I don't really have a clue other than to refer you to High Desert Gardens -- if anyone would know, they would -- good luck -- may I have a slice of pie, please? LOL! jo

you also might want to try contacting dixon apples near cochiti lake (located on forest road 89 in the jemez mtns). ph.505-465-2976.

With were your at just about any apple will grow, red's/goldens even any of the spur types, just chose the correct rootstock depending on what type of tree you want (drawf/standerd, ect)

South Valley here, I've got a slew of apples. I detest Red Delicious only because it degrades so quickly. I need keepers! Golden D. is fine as are the various cultivars I've tried. My favorite(s) is/are Prima, Johnathon, McIntosh (see a pattern.....I like tart, not sweet apples). I tried the old fashion-heritage apples but most didn't like my valley clay, desert heat, etc. Another apple I detest is EarliBlaze. It is huge, the fruit is too soft and comes too early, LOL! We got the columnar apples a year before they were introduced to the public and of couse I lost my notes on which is which. One produces a great apple...firm, tart but not too tart. (that was helpful huh?)

Alas, age (mine) is keeping me from tending the apples as well as I once did so some are fading away. Nothing that can't be replaced.

Contact the Extension Service for more varieties.
