Over the last five years we've turned the apple
world upside down by showing that the traditional conception of where
apples can grow is wrong- very wrong. We've helped growers from
the hot areas of California, Texas, and Florida in the USA to the
Caribbean and Central America to lowland equatorial Africa grow their
first crops of crunchy, juicy, spicy apples. |

Forget the Chilling Hours
Yes, we know you've had it drilled into your head
that apples need 800-1,000 hours of "chill" in order to
produce, and hot climates can only grow a couple of varieties that are
mushy, unreliable, and tasteless. But our testing of over 150
varieties has also proven this very wrong and we've identified a wide
selection of crisp, crunchy apples with a range of flavors from very
sweet to ones that "bite back", and all the complexities in
between. |

Historic Mountain Apple Orchard
By the 1920's the inland empire had hundreds
of thousands of apple trees planted stretching from the Cajon
Pass, Hesperia and Victorville, through the San Bernardino
mountains all the way to Yucaipa and Oak Glen. Today
except for at Oak Glen, just a few of those apple trees remain
from the settlers. We're locating them and are attempting
to catalog the old varieties and re-graft them to make available
for the homeowner, along with the history behind the ranches and
homesteads they came from.
