First Apple Blossoms Of The Season. 4 Apr 24.

 These are the first open apple blossoms of the season.

Redlove Calypso.


Zestar.


Gravenstein.


I need to keep this in mind if I eliminate a variety.  Gravenstein is triploid - I think - so wont pollinate the others, and needs them to develop its fruit.

Still, there will be a lot of overlap with the next ones.  These are just the beginning.

I'm curious about how Zestar will do.  Last year, there were apples but they were not all that good.  Whereas, the Gravensteins were fit for a King!
