| Many years back we had some apple trees here - forget what happened to them - probably gophers. I don't remember if we had any apple cedar rust - but we do have those things on the cedar trees that swell up with fingers after a rain (connected ??) Well - I would like to take a stab at planting some dwarf or semi-dwarf fruit trees hopefully that ripen in the fall as we might be gone most of the summer.
Any suggestions for the apple trees ? or should I pass. Don't want to have to spray the trees every 2 weeks all summer long either. Want more organic easy way of going. Anyway - thanks for any suggestions/advice. Nancy |

| I did a Google search for "cedar apple rust resistant apple varieties" and this publication from the University of Arkansas was the first one on the list. Here are some others as well: http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G6026 http://www.ces.purdue.edu/extmedia/BP/BP-132-W.pdf |

| Huge Help - Thanks ever so. Kept us from getting some we thought we wanted - but highly susceptible. Oh well - Got a Mollie's Delicious - a Arkansas Black and he said we needed a green one to go with them so got a Granny Smith. Bob Wells nursery in Lindale - trees looked super. |
