    Someone else recommended fedco to me and I’ll definitely be ordering from them, I love everything they’ve got going on.

    I’ve read elsewhere too that honey crisps seem more prone to diseases and pests. What other varieties do you have?

      I, too, am a huge fan of theirs (organizationally, selection-wise, and acknowledgements wise). We currently just have the Wolf River and the Honeycrisp, but our next door neighbor also has a granny smith, Ashmead’s Kernel, Pippin, Cox, and something else. I spent last season collecting the fallen crabs from our three old crabs and will hopefully have some rootstocks to practice my grafting on and build our collection this year and next. The past few years most of my garden fund has been spent on more readily multiplied plants (full disclosure: I sell plants) instead of cultivar trees.
