It has been ten years since I reported in "The Fruit Varieties and Horticulture Digest" (Vol. 16, No.1) on how some of the newer apple varieties are doing in Vermont. First let me say that the Green Mountain Orchards are located in the foothills of the Green Mountains in South Eastern Vermont. They are located on five different farms ranging in elevation from 600 to 1,000 feet above sea level. There are at present about 275 acres in apples varying from one to 57 years of age. The older trees on standard stocks are gradually being eliminated, and are being replaced by trees propagated on size-controlling stocks-mostly EM VII, EM26 and MM106. Within 10 years or so, we expect most of the standard trees will be replaced by these smaller growing semi-dwarf trees.
