I was impressed with all the famous and exotic apples they listed, but many are probably also available from Raintree locally, probably cheaper too. I haven't grown your selections but I used to buy Spitzenberg from a local grower and it was very tasty. I am put off about the other apples being listed as shy bearers, that doesn't appeal to me. My favorite apples I have grown for more than 20 years in the PNW are Liberty, very disease-resistant (liberty from spraying), it has excellent aromatic flavor even in small apples that fall off the tree, is late, makes excellent applesauce along with my other favorite, Winesap, which has a harder more dense flesh and makes wonderful thick and flavorful applesauce, also late, productive and disease-resistant.
