Stark Bro’s Nurseries & Orchards

SnappyMac®

A better Mac. Fruit colors completely with a beautiful deep-red blush allowing for an earlier harvest and better storage. Typical McIntosh growth characteristics although SnappyMac appears to be more open and spreading. Gunnison cltv., USPPAF. A whole tree mutation of Rogers Red McIntosh.

Stark® UltraGoldâ„¢

A russet-resistant Golden. If russeting is a problem with your current Golden Delicious variety, try this smooth, glossy-skin Golden, which originated in our test orchard. Slightly more conical than the original Golden Delicious, but with a flavor to match. Stores better than Golden Delicious and is less susceptible to shriveling. Ripens in late Golden Delicious season. Goldensheen #2 cltv.

Flamin’ Fury® PF-Lucky 13

Firm flesh and excellent flavor. In our 2008 test block this freestone peach variety was one of the best in its time of ripening. Tree is productive and spreading with good resistance to bacterial spot. USPP#14,384.

Blondeeâ„¢ Apple – NEW!

A superior early yellow apple. Smooth skin is occasionally blushed on exposed areas. Sweet, crunchy, non-browning flesh resists bruising, making it a good shipper. Ideal for U-Pick operations as it holds two to three weeks on the tree. Excellent shelflife and holds several months in common storage. Ripens three to five days ahead of Gala. McLaughlin cltv., USPP#19,007.

Flamin’ Fury® PF-5B

A week earlier than Stark EarliGlo. We started picking our 2008 test crop July 3. In a more typical season these could be picked at the end of June. With the size, appearance, and taste of a later-season peach, this one’s a winner for the early season. Few split pits. Semi-freestone. USPP#9,850.

Flamin’ Fury® PF-11

Beautiful mid-season nectarine. Freestone fruits range up to 2¾ inches and color to 90% red over yellow background. Excellent flavor, good bud hardiness, and resistance to bacterial spot. Needs thinning. USPP#15,661.

Brookfield® Gala

Better appearance. An improved Gala featuring an attractive prominent red stripe over a red ground color. Fruit colors early, allowing the grower to time harvests for optimal storage life and flavor development. For improved packouts, may be harvested in two picks. Baigent cltv., USPP#10,016.

BlackGoldâ„¢

Remarkable spring frost tolerance. The latest blooming sweet cherry from the Cornell collection, this shiny, black/red 1-inch fruit is excellent quality, medium firm, and crack resistant. Moderately vigorous and spreading, with some weeping habit on secondary scaffolds. Ridgewood cltv., USPP#17,301.

Santa Rosa

Pleasing flavor. A large plum with reddish-purple skin. Flavorful flesh is yellow tinged with red, and firm. Tree is self-pollinating, vigorous, and spreading.
