'Stayman Winesap' ranks eighth in U.S. apple production with significant plantings in the Appalachian and Ohio Basin areas. The cultivar has many desirable characteristics, being classed as an excellent dessert apple as well as a processing apple for sauce, baking, freezing, and juice. It also has some serious weaknesses. Fruit cracking prior to and after harvest, poor fruit finish, and scald have been problems.
Blaxtayman trees were planted in 1947 in the New Mexico Agricultural Experiment Station orchard. The fruit has been affected by cracking to some degree nearly every year. Red color development has been poor both in intensity and percentage of fruit covered. Boron sprays and soil management practices had no effect on cracking, although red color development was improved under sod treatment.
