Gurleyville– A seedling apple from Mansfield, Connecticut. Found growing in a wetland meadow near the Fenton River in the historic mill district of Gurleyville. Medium sized tree, sparsely branched, bearing clumps of fruit tightly on spurs. Fruit size small to medium, averaging 2”-2½”. Round-oblate, regular plan view, sometimes standing slightly oblique. Uniform, ghostly porcelain color, nearly pure white. Sizable russet patch from stemwell running to the shoulder of the fruit. Flesh dense, fine grained, and breaking. Flavor bittersharp. Mellow, subdued acid prevails at front. Long, mild gripping tannin plays in at mid palate, with aromatics of pine. Ripens mid to late September in its state of origin. Stores very well, but tannins dissipate in very long storage. A versatile apple of great quality for cider, especially when fresh, or for fresh eating after sweating.

Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores.

Mother tree is exceptionally vigorous, growing in a nutrient-poor hayfield in a mountain valley, one of many pippins in a population of a couple dozen trees. Modest to heavy crops of fruit on thorny spurs are typical. Apples are brassy yellow over green ground coat, sometimes developing a red sun spot. Flavor is bittersharp, moderately astringent. Jazzy with cherry notes and dynamic mouthfeel. A promising candidate for SV cider from juice analysis. Fruit maturity in ex-situ trials has been variable. Grafted trees produce ripe fruit in late August to early September. The mother tree drops its fruit in early October. More research is needed. Brix values consistent on all specimens, around 15- 16 Bx. Trees have superior vigor; no other variety in the GP catalog has the same insane zest for life. Grafted trees have vast growth and branch prolifically. Judicious pruning is needed to prevent internal shading and crowding. Fruit primary is formed on spurs and the terminal buds of short thorny laterals. Jean’s Russet– A seedling apple from Heath, Massachusetts. Discovered 1975, introduced and grafted 2019. Mother tree was a volunteer tree growing in a wooded cow pasture where Jean Gran of Heath cleared and built her house in the 1970s. She enjoyed having the young wild apple tree on the property, and so allowed it to continue growing. When first discovered it was only about 6 feet tall, and relatively scrawny with only one trunk. Now, it is a massive behemoth of a tree, reaching 20 feet in height, and having a total canopy spread of roughly 40 feet. Partially to fully russeted fruits are small. bittersweet, balanced, moderately astringent with excellent aromatics of maple and bananas. Spur-type bearing habit. Ripens mid-October.
