Most of these are Heirloom apples, gold rush and lady williams are more recent introductions. Hauer Pippin, Whitwick pippin and pomo sanel are quite rare. The others should be easier to find. Most of these are apples that hang well on the tree. Gold rush is definitely better picked in the fall and stored.
