Apple Orchard

Named Seedlings and Unknown Apple Varieties!

At Hocking Hills Orchard, here at the Four Seasons Cabins, we grow many different varieties of Apples, Pears, Grapes and other fruit.

Part of the fun with apples is growing your own variety from seed. Since apples do not come true from seed each seedling will be something new! Most of them will not amount to much but here are some that we have grown from seed and think are worthy to try. Thanks!

Another fun aspect of fruit growing is "exploring" for fruit. Driving down the road and seeing a tree in bloom in spring and then going back to try the fruit later on. Or finding an old abandoned orchard and trying to discover what varieties are growing there!
