^^^It's nice to see a bunch of requests that I don't have. If you get some takes, I know where to get scions in the future. Definitely Stu.
That Blenheim Orange sounds like it will be firm in November. The Linda Sweet are a sweeter 1.5" crab from South Dakota. When I was a kid I remember having Northern Spy in the stores. I liked them much better than the red delicious. I had my first bite out of a Gold Rush this year and it was good for my taste and should hold into November. I want more of the Baldwin as that was a big northeast apple until the winter of 1947.
Everything I've heard about Gold Rush is overwhelmingly positive. I've not planted any here because I don't think we have a long enough growing season. If you can get them to mature there, I'd give them a shot here.

It has grown back well and should have fruit this year as well. After seeing lots of fruit on the ground and some hanging yesterday from other trees I can’t wait until I have these late hangers producing heavy. Deer know those trees are a food source and are coming during daylight to get them.

I should have typed that what I've heard about the fruit is overwhelmingly positive.

I found out that Blenheim Orange is the parent tree to Cox Orange Pippin but, I guess it’s a softer cooking apple.

I just finished up grafting 30 B118 rootstocks with scions from GRIN. Thank you GRIN. Their scions were still in good shape and all but one of the rootstock from Cummins had great roots. I got them back into tubs with potting soul and covered them with plastics bags. The room they’ll be staying in is in the high 30s to low 40s.

I just put the box on the shelf in a cold garage for a few days. I handled them with gloves and thought I would let any disease dissipate for a few days .

He was coughing up a storm as he headed back down the driveway. I sprayed the box with Lysol (says it kills corona virus, who knows) and will let it sit for a few days too. Washed my hands after bringing it inside as well. I really don't like this new world

I let mine sit since last Saturday. Cummins did a good job of wrapping the roots and keeping them moist.

What does ‘cloned apples’ mean in the link? I’m not sure if that just grafted trees or if they did something with genetics.

What does ‘cloned apples’ mean in the link? If you're talking about page 46 where they have "clones and seedlings in grow out plantings", that would indicate (to me anyway) that they grafted scions and/or bud sticks (clones) as well as growing seeds from those same trees.
