My 4th leaf Red Baron had a load of apples last year and 3 apples this year. It was clearly impacted by last winter's low temps.

Art —are you a fan of Red Baron?? I would say pretty CAR resistant, low maintenance, and tastes pretty decent. Not great tasting.

For a relatively early apple, I think R.B. is a tasty variety. Better than State Fair, not as good as Zestar IMO.

I have one marked Red Baron, but after arts pictures in the cider post and you guys describing it as early, now I’m worried mine somehow was mis marked...

Did you pick yours really early, Art? I just read on the UofM website that they're a mid September ripening apple?

The seeds are dark. This is a strange fall. Early apples were late. Now, haralson is dropping apples and seeds are brown but not real dark. Haralred is holding fruit. Chestnut is dropping some fruit and about on schedule.

I'm guessing that's due to his soil warming up more quickly in the spring than mine, but that's just a WAG.

I'm guessing that's due to his soil warming up more quickly in the spring than mine, but that's just a WAG. South slope and sandy to sandy loam soils. It is very interesting to watch corn crops between my area and heavy soils of my in laws about 15 miles to the SE. it seems to me that they are always dragging their feet when planting is going on here. They are still trying to haul manure. Just thinking... is the soil warming faster a benefit to deer after a tough winter?
