One of my three apple trees, the Libery, has been producing well this season. No spraying this year, no traps for the flying pests, and until mid-summer there were still weeds and groundcovers growing under them. Cleaned up under, put down woods chips, picking up all the dead leaves now on all three. The Johnagold apples are all still full of bugs, Spartan's were very small, some scab, a few ok eating. But the Liberty's are ok, medium size, few bad spots, and taste great. Here's the Liberty tree and one of the apples.
