Jon:
We grew Liberty for many years in So. Indiana on MM111, and various
interstems (including M9, B9 and P2) where it matured in early September.
It was annually productive, color was adequate (much better than most all
strains of McIntosh which is a near total disaster in Zone 6). When
it.

I'm not aware of apple scab resistance having developed against
Bill,
First a caveat: I am not a professional grower, so my standards
probably differ from those who have to sell apples for a living.
I have Liberty on Bud9, and MM111/M9 interstems. I use most of my
crop for drying - Liberty's texture in the ten days or so before it
is truly ripe is firm

Certainly in New England at this time, Baldwin is very close
The interaction between host and pathogen, for example, between apple
and scab, is a two-way street. Heavy planting of any one cultivar
puts tremendous selection pressure on the pathogen, particularly if
the only way it can survive is to infect a host. We don't really
understand all the
Do triploid apple varieties have any increased level of disease
resistance? Sometimes multi-ploidy (polyploidy? superploidy?... whatever)
is related to pest resistance in plants, right? I guess in apples, if it
exists, it would be rather accidental, I mean nobody was exactly breeding
for such

Arthur,
I think you have raised a central point
I wouldn't advocate always following intuition. We also have brains to
integrate our
experience and reason with intuition. But when faced with extravagant claims
by GMO
people, that there is little or no risk---well, intuition can be useful here.
As for organic food tasting better---if it

I actually agree with you that you, and other farmers, are probably
better served by the personal relationship than they would be by
certification alone

People often do trust things they are familiar with. Unfortunately
