Hello!
I live in Ontario and I have recently moved to a new house. I cant wait to get started with the garden, I have a herb garden and there are some wild flowers already that I will prune and keep as they are lovely! Along with a few other other things I want to do. I would love to get some apple trees for my garden and there are alot of varieties and things to consider I know. I am looking to buy Apple tree seeds to plant. I have found that in Canada these types are typically grown: Gala, McIntosh, Spartan, Cortland, Empire, Delicious, Idared, Golden Russet, Golden Delicious, Crispin (Mutsu), and Northern Spy. What are the most reliable grows and tastiest in peoples opinions? I am even considering getting a 2/3 varieties if this is possible ? I have a large area to turn into an orchard. WE are even considering buying extra land that is free and behind our garden if needs be. So space is not an issue. We plan on being in this house for a while. So i want to invest in the apple trees. Would be so great to have them for juices and eating the fruits of our labour! thanks in advance for any tips!
