This is the fun part. There are lots of selections of apples trees, each with their own fruit color, flavor, ripening time, and more. What really determines the type you should choose is how you want to use them. Most are good for snacking. Others are great for desserts, canning, dried fruits, making jam, jelly, and preserves, and salads.

Dorsett Gold is a great choice for warmer climates as it requires less than 100 chill hours although it does well down to zone 4A. The low chill hour requirement makes it a very early season producer. The flesh of this apple is firm, sweet and slightly tart, comparable to the Golden Delicious. This cultivar was developed in 1954 and comes from the Bahamas.
