| History | Akane, a sweet, rich, early season dessert apple, excellent for fresh eating and drying, ripening August to September; Gravenstein with striking red and yellow stripes, and a firm, juicy bite, available early in the fall; Honeycrisp with its large red, crisp, deliciously sweet fruit, well-suited for fresh eating and cooking, and equally suited for pressing for cider, ripening in September; Liberty, with red, crisp, juicy fruit, ready to harvest in October; and the popular Fuji with an exceptional, spicy, crisp sweetness, typically ripening in October. |
| Lore | This tree is grafted and trained as espalier into three tiers with five varieties intended to extend the harvest season in today's smaller gardens: Akane; Fuji; Honeycrisp; Liberty; and Gravenstein |
