apple controlled crosses

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

apple controlled crosses, we have fruit so hand pollinations were a success. these are a fun combination of black strawberry, cherry cox, and a few other warmer zone apples with cool flavours x our bullet proof cold hardy prairie apples. september ruby for example, hardy to zone 2, ripens in.. well september, a small apple thad I enjoy, crossed with black strawberry, a red fleshed apple with strawberry flavour. the name's right there it's going to be september strawberry if it works. just need what about 5-7 years to find out? ;)
