I'm trying to get sweet tango apple trees #868012

Asked May 11, 2024, 2:54 PM EDT

A number of years ago we came to the arboretum looking for apples the representatives suggested a sweet tango Rather than honey crisp. I fell in love with the apple and have been trying to get a number of sweet tangle trees since that time I believe the patent on this tree is now expired. We have a commercial farm, Creekside Farms LLC it would like apples for ourselves and potentially to sell. Can you help me obtain some of these trees. Is there another apple that has comparable flavor. I see there's a variety called tender crisp. I did not like Sweet Sixteen as well Thank you for your help Tom Noonan<personal data hidden> <personal data hidden>
