Once some more of my trees come into production, I'm going to experiment with this. This is obviously for "people" apples....not necessary for deer. gordosoft.com/orchard/bagging.htmThis could be a good way to assess my "no spray" program. Could expose real problems that I didn't know about without a comparison fruit to look at. Thanks.

Seems like a good way to get a few dozen fruit relatively painlessly and without chemicals. Not sure I'd want to bag bushels and bushels of fruit though.

If I'd known Baldwin was a late October apple I don't think I'd given it away to my neighbors at the camp. Oops.

I had a lowland Raspberry that only produced a few apples over 20 plus years. I see it has several other names.

Stu, You see the Briggs Auburn apple listed on the above link? They said zone 3. Fedco has a good write up saying it tastes like banana and blackberries but, they list zone 4. www.fedcoseeds.com/trees/?item=108
