Reliable varieties for this area are 'Cox Orange', 'Red Delicious', 'Golden Delicious', 'McIntosh', 'Jonathan', 'Fameuse', 'Northwest Greening', 'Joyce', 'Wealthy', 'Lodi', and 'Haralson'. Select two different varieties for cross pollination and good fruit production. In most cases, planting semi-dwarf varieties rather than standard size trees will allow enough room for at least two different varieties in the landscape.
