The mid-Atlantic region has 6.8 million apple trees, but all states except Virginia have experienced tree losses during the last seven years. The five cultivars accounting for 85% of the production, in descending order of importance, include 'Delicious,' 'Golden Delicious,' 'Rome,' 'York,' and 'Stayman.' 'Stayman' is declining in importance due to fruit cracking problems, but the other four cultivars will remain prominant for the next 15 years. 'Gala' is the only new cultivar likely to be planted in volume in the next five years.
