Message: [QUOTE="Fightin Choke, post: 3001880, member: 2605"] With apples you need a certain number of chill days in the winter, the number dependent on the variety of apple. We can't grow apples here in Scottsdale, AZ because there are not enough cold winter days, but we can grow peaches and citrus. When we were young we used to go to Rogers orchard in Southington and they had great apples. New England is good apple country, too, but most apples are consumed locally. Our favorites were macouns, which don't store or ship well, but taste delicious. The Pacific northwest has great weather for apples, and they supply apples to most of the country. The apples they ship usually have less flavor than the ones that are grown for immediate consumption. Local orchards are great! Boy has this thread gone off the rails. Sorry about that! [/QUOTE]
