The source of many of my plant dreams these days are these apple seedlings. I got the seed from the inspiring Californian small-scale apple breeder Steven Edholm. Each container is either an open pollinated mix of summer, fall, winter apples or specific styles of apples like savory or red-fleshed apples. There's a few specific crosses, esp. of red-fleshed and highly aromatic apple varieties - some of them that are Edholm's own creations. I've grafted several of his new releases this year like BITE ME!, Amberwine, Black Strawberry, Cherub, Cherry Crush and Tomboy and plan on doing my own crosses too this year. Looking forward in anticipation to taste the fruits.
