Semi-Dwarf Fruit Trees
Apple
Shizuka
A sister to Mutsu developed in Japan. Reported to be blister spot resistant. Fruit is large like Mutsu, but has a milder, sweeter flavor. Shizuka matures two weeks before its sister and exhibits less bitter pit. Tree vigor appears to be similar to that of Mutsu. This has become an important variety for many direct market growers.
Nova Spy
Nova Spy was introduced by the Nova Scotia Research Station in Kentville. It harvests in the same season as Northern Spy, but is more precocious than the original Spy. Fruit has a sweet, pleasant flavor, making it very good for fresh eating. It bakes well and is a good keeper. This variety has shown good resistance to apple scab.
Old-time Apples
Grimes Golden
An old favorite, suitable for fresh use, cider and cooking. This variety is medium in vigor, productive and an excellent pollinizer.
Summer Rambo
A greenish-red variety, the fruit is juicy and possesses a fine flavor, making it a preferred variety for summer sauce. Fruit size is large. The tree is vigorous, hardy and somewhat susceptible to fire blight. Summer Rambo is a triploid and therefore pollen-sterile, and it should not be planted as a pollinizer.
Yellow Peach
Redhaven
This variety is considered by many as the standard for the Northeast peach industry. Tree is vigorous, very bud-hardy and productive. Fruit is medium-sized and colors to a brilliant red. One of the best commercial varieties. Ripens around August 1 in south-central Pennsylvania.
European Plums
Bluebyrd
Released by the USDA in 1998, Bluebyrd is an excellent European-type plum for the commercial orchard and home garden use. The fruit is blue with amber flesh, medium to large in size with excellent flavor and high sugar content. The tree is vigorous and productive and has shown great resistance to black knot. Bluebyrd blooms before Stanley and requires cross pollination
Stanley
A New York State Agricultural Experiment Station introduction and leading cultivar in the Great Lakes region. A fine prune-type plum with excellent quality suited for both home use and processing. Fruit is large in size with dark blue skin. Flesh is greenish-yellow, juicy and fine-grained. The tree is early bearing and a good pollinizer for other European varieties.
