Rudy, some of my favorite apples are York Imperials, Ashmead’s Kernel, and many of the russet varieties. Pippen and Spitzenberg taste great but they are not the easiest apple to grow if your climate and growing conditions are to their liking. Varieties such as the York Imperials and Pomme Gris are less challenging to grow here in Pennsylvania.

Can anyone tell me where to purchase a sampler collection of heirloom apples? I would need to have them boxed and priority mailed to Alaska. I would love to try some! We may have local salmon, moose and blueberries but we are FAR from good apples! Thanks!

Great article. One of the things I miss from the Midwest are the Harralson apples. One of the things I love about living here are all the old, wild apple trees. Haven’t a clue whether they’re heirloom or not…but I love apples. I’ve been eating my ‘apple a day’ since I was old enough to chew – and my mother carefully peeled them for me – can you imagine?
