My Backyard grown Spartan apples

I have a handful of apples in my backyard.

Akane
Beni shogun
Rubinette
Spartan
Column sentinel
Pippin
Ashmead

The Spartan is the earliest to ripen. It's also quit productive. Which I think is great but it's taste is not so great unfortunately. It does not have the sweetness or tart flavor to make it Great. 

It also doesn't store very long before getting a bit mealy. I am not a fan of mealy apples. I give this apple a 5/10 for taste. I'll probably just use them for juicing.

  1. Which of your trees have you liked the best? I'm an hour south of you and just starting to plan out the garden for the house that I moved into this spring.
