With over 7,500 known apple varieties in the world, how do we choose the right one for your orchard?  Combine that with hundreds of rootstock selections and it can quickly become very confusing.  Each cultivar and rootstock has very unique characteristics that need to be considered before planting a new orchard that could be in place for decades.  Amy will help you understand apple cultivars and rootstocks that can be used in a 21st century orchard.
