    Gold Rush keeps like a champ! We have enjoyed it in May/ June of the following season. An amazing apple.

    I love the gold rush apple too. It is excellent. It is later in the season, and you are right that it keeps well. Nice video, keep up the good work.
    For market a really good early eating apple I have found Williams Pride. Here in eastern Kentucky it ripens in the last half of July. It has great color an a surprisingly good flavor for so early. It has also been at least partly self fertile in my orchard. The leaves and fruit get no diseases here for me. Just wondered if you have tried this one in your orchard?

    Happy Birthday Nick. I have a Buckley Giant Tree here south of Seattle that has the same problem with every bug swarming them and they are pretty aromatic. I don't get many but the Buckley's are really good. Strangely, my Red Gravenstein which is also very aromatic does not get bothered much by bugs.

    Liberty is pretty awesome for the home orchard because its fruit size is more sensitive to thinning than other varieties. If you want a bunch of smaller lunchbox sized apples, don’t thin, but if you want larger apples, you can thin!

    Originally known as Co-op 38, the GoldRush comes from the Golden Delicious and Co-op 17. Its disease resistant qualities comes from the Malus floribunda in its pedigree.

    Happy Belated B-Day. Btw you mentioned you are in the Pacific North West. I live in the Bay Area and I have been in search for a Apple that was served in my elementary school. Obviously I’ve tried everything on sale at the grocery stores and none of them are it. After some research I found there are hundreds and hundreds of Apple varieties. A friend of mine told me to go to Placerville which has a place called Apple Hill. For nostalgia’s sake I really want to find that apple. It was red in skin color but had a bit of a berry flavor

    I grow Ahmead's kernel, grimes golden, golden russet, mutsu, and norfolk royal russet to name a few of my favorites. I love yellow apples and mostly grow ugly heirloom triploids. I got frost bite amd sweet sixteen for pollinators but are great eating apples better than honey crisp. Honey crisp don't have the brix levels like it's grand parents. My mom has a pixie crunch that is really good fresh.

    bro you're right about spartan.. a perfectly ripe one on the right soil can blow someone's mind when they taste it. Seen that many times. Shame about storage though. Have you noticed before they become too soft to eat, they develop an off flavour which is hard to describe but a bit like burnt caramel which is mainly in the skin. Skin is also quite thick but this is not a problem whilst the apple is firm and crunchy. Definitely you should be adding calcium to all trees IMO. What you will notice is that some varieties that you dismissed before can become like a new one, and the ones you already liked also go next level. I add about 30mg actual Ca per m2 of the footprint of the canopy every two weeks if its a soluble form, Ca acetate is great which you can make easily if you know even the most basic chemistry. Add silicon too, it does a similar thing, not forgetting trace elements too. You can make acetates of those too because they are mostly cations. Calcium silicate, wollastonite, is excellent. I can't find Rubella apple variety on the internet... is that the spelling? I hope I can find goldrush here in UK. I wonder whether it has a similar flavour to pitmason pineapple. It's not a crisp apple at all but has a remarkable flavour with spicy notes
