Growing Tips
Apples are a cornerstone in cold climate fruit production. You will need 2 different varieties in order for the apple trees to cross pollinate and become fruitful. We focus on cultivars that are meant for the home orchardist that are less maintenance than many traditional apple cultivars like ‘Honey Crisp’ that are found in supermarkets to allow even those without a lot of experience to successfully grow fruit. All of our apple trees are grown on hardy root stock of either Antonovka, Dolgo, or Bud 118. Depending on care, they will take 4 to 5 years to produce apples and will continue to for many years!
Apple trees prefer well drained soil with moderate levels of fertility, and thrive best in full sun. They will not tolerate standing water. It’s important to prune them every year in early spring and clean up fallen fruit and leaves and discard them. We also like to give them compost every year or two and then mulch with woodchips or leaves on top of the compost.
More about Apple 'Goodland'
The Goodland apple has a lovely crispy texture with a good balance of sweetness, complex aromatics, and a touch of acidity. The large greenish yellow apple with rosy blush is great for eating fresh as well as cooking. It is a vigorous tree, and it shows good resistance to diseases. It creates medium to large size fruit dependably, year after year. It also keeps for over 2 months in ideal storage conditions.
It’s representative of many decades of perseverance and dedication in
cold hardy fruit development. A hundred years ago, there were very few
apples that were of good quality that could survive extreme cold
Canadian winters. The combined efforts of Morden Research Station
in Manitoba, the University of Saskatchewan and the University of
Alberta resulted in an amazing apple of dependable quality that survived
in zone 3 without winter damage in the year 1925.
