The Good Lord blessed us with 32 degrees and we came through the night of May 18 unharmed. Many were not so fortunate and we wouldn’t wish that misfortune on anyone. Pass the word, we have plenty of apples for picking.
Heirloom Macs and Red Delicious, Cortland, Jonathan, Rambo (aka in France, the ‘bread and cheese’ apple) Yellow Transparent and others.
When the first European settlers arrived in the New World, they found no apples, only a few types of wild crabapples. The earliest record of cultivated apples in New England appeared in 1623, just three years after the landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock. The region has had a strong apple growing tradition ever since.A number of varieties were discovered here, including the popular heirlooms Roxbury Russet, America’s oldest named variety, in 1635; Baldwin; Northern Spy; and Rhode Island Greening.
Today, about 30 to 40 varieties are grown in commercial quantities, many right here at King Blossom Farm! Many more are planted in smaller amounts. New Hampshire’s leading apples are McIntosh, which accounts for about two-thirds of the crop; Cortland; Macoun; Empire; Gala; and Honeycrisp. Come enjoy our heirloom apple trees and pick your own. A great way to spend a fall day!
