Creston & Fortune Apples


Both of these sacks are at Horse Listener Orchard in Ashford, Connecticut. It's a nice off the beaten path new orchard.

Both of these varieties are quite new.  The Creston came out in about 1998. It's a mix of Golden Delicious and a nameless test apple NJ 381049. It's similar to Jobnagold but firmer. Fortune was developed in 1997 It's a cross between a Red Spy (aka Schoharie Spy) and a Empire.
