3 A PPLES September Wonder Fuji (Fiero Cultivar) USPP #11193 Formerly known as Jubilee TM Fuji. Discovered as a whole tree mutation of an early Fuji. Ripens approximately September 10th in Prescott, WA. The earliest true Fuji out on the market. Good size even though the apple has 5 to 6 weeks less growing season. Reddish blush skin color. Creamy white flesh with typical Fuji flavor. Keeping qualities are similar to Gala s. A C & O Exclusive Variety. Aztec Fuji (DT2 Cultivar) This sport of the popular Red Fuji is sweet and juicy, with a crisp texture and similar harvest maturity of standard Fuji. Blush type which originated in New Zealand. One of the highest coloring Fuji sports to date. Aztec Fuji is a protected trademark of Waimea Variety Management Ltd. All items in this catalog are Copyright 2017 C & O Nursery, Inc. 3

4 Pacific Gala (Olsentwo Cultivar) Discovered as a whole tree mutation of Royal Gala by Dick and Larry Olsen in The fruit matures 5-7 days ahead of Royal Gala. The fruit s color was observed to be distinctly different than the Tenroy cultivar and the Galaxy Gala, showing much higher color on 90 to 100% of fruit. Tests show that Pacific Gala stores much better than Royal Gala in either CA or common storage conditions, with little or no shriveling. Higher pressure combined with higher brix allows more flexibility for the warehouse. Flavor remains sweet and pleasant throughout its storage life. Buckeye Gala (Simmons Cultivar) USPP #10840 This exciting Gala sport starts coloring a month earlier than its parent, Imperial Gala. Buckeye Gala develops well through summer heat and the fruit finishes with a bright, full, rich, red color. Flavor, texture, size, and handling qualities remain the same as its renowned parent. Tree is vigorous and upright with a semi-spur habit. May be pollinated by other mid-season blooming varieties, except other Gala sports and Golden Delicious. 4

5 Royal Red Honeycrisp USPP #22244 Discovered in the Columbia Basin of Washington State, this exciting new color sport of Honeycrisp is catching attention from coast to coast. Royal Red Honeycrisp is a blush type selection and maintains the crisp, juicy texture of its parent that so many have come to love. Beyond the high color factor, initial tests indicate that it s improved storage characteristics may be equally important in improving pack-out. As with its parent, the tree is low vigor and care should be taken not to crop it too soon. Offered under sub-license from Willow Drive Nursery. 5

6 Cosmic Crisp (Wa 38 Cultivar) USPP Cosmic Crisp brand apples are a cross between 'Enterprise' and 'Honeycrisp'. The large, juicy apple has a remarkably firm and crisp texture. Its exceptional flavor profile provides ample sweetness and tartness, making it an excellent eating apple. In addition to being delicious, it is slow to brown when cut and maintains its texture and flavor in storage for more than a year. The apple variety is the latest edition of Washington State University's world-class tree fruit breeding program. WSU is getting ready to distribute the first trees to farmers, and consumers should see some fruit available by The most attractive qualities of Cosmic Crisp are its exceptional eating quality, its large fruit size, attractive appearance, and its productivity. Initial plantings are limited to Washington State Growers only at this time. Courtesy of Bruce Barritt 6

7 Fall Varieties PACIFIC GALA (Olsentwo Cultivar). See page 4 for full description. BUCKEYE GALA (USPP #10840) (Simmons Cultivar). See page 4 for full description. RUBYMAC (USPP #19891)(B. Thome Cultivar). Beautiful, vibrant ruby-red finish over virtually 100% of the fruit. Outstanding firmness and quality. Longer stem than other Macs, which helps it stay on the tree longer. Holds its firmness well in storage. C & O Nursery is a founding member of the International New Varieties Network (or INN). This international group of nurserymen share testing, evaluating, promotion and protection of new varieties worldwide. Ask us about outstanding new varieties from around the world such as Galaval and Lady in Red. HONEYCRISP. Introduced in 1991, Honeycrisp created quite an interest with commercial growers. The wellbalanced, sub-acid flavor combined with a crisp, juicy texture make for an enjoyable eating experience. Harvest is generally in late September, about one week after Macintosh. Honeycrisp has an excellent storage life, lasting six to seven months in common storage. Bred specifically for winter hardiness, the tree is moderately vigorous with average fruit precocity.

9 Crabapple Pollenizers One of the most important aspects in setting a full crop is the proper use of pollenizer trees. Flowering crabs have a number of potential advantages, especially the blooming characteristics most bloom on both spurs and one-year wood. Varieties are listed in approximate order of bloom. MT. EVERESTE (perpetu cv). The white, pink tinged flowers have very heavy pollen. Blooms early to midseason. Scab immune. INDIAN SUMMER. Abundant pink flowers with extended bloom period. Blooms with King bloom of Reds. Pollen germination is good. SNOWDRIFT. A very profuse bloomer. Good pollinizer for medium to late-blooming commercial varieties. Small to medium-size white flowers. MT. BLANC (x6114 cv). This white flowered crab is scab resistant. Clean, shiny leaves and in the sprayless program. Blooms late. 9

10 PEARS C & O Nursery Pear trees are grown on Old Home x Farmingdale rootstock. These rootstocks are hardy, very well-anchored, and productive. OH x F rootstocks impart a size controlling characteristic similar to the Malling rootstock with apples.

14 Cherry Rootstocks MAZZARD. Mazzard is a good choice for wet and heavy soils. Produces what is considered a full size tree, 18 to 20 feet tall. MAHALEB. Performs well in deep soils with good drainage. Very cold-hardy and precocious. Deep rooted. Produces a tree roughly 70% the size of Mazzard. Not recommended for heavy soils or areas with poor drainage or high water tables. GISELA 5 (USPP #9622). Produces a tree roughly 65% of Mazzard. Recommend support. Quite virustolerant. Does well in heavy soils. May sucker. GISELA 6 (USPP #8954). Produces a tree roughly 80% of Mazzard, but induces cropping much sooner. Varieties budded onto Gisela 6 do not crop in clusters the way Gisela 5 may, thus fruit size tends to be larger. Recommend support. GISELA 12 (USPP #9631). Produces a tree roughly 100% of Mazzard. Very precocious and productive. It has good virus resistance and no suckering problems. Well anchored, but support is recommended. MxM 60. Clonal cross of Mahaleb and Mazzard. A vigorous tree about the same size as Mazzard, more productive and produces few root suckers. It is moderately tolerant to Root Rot and adapts to a wide range of soils. KRYMSK 5 (VSL-2 Cv)(USPP #15723). Produces a tree roughly 80% of Mazzard. Recommend support. Lighter flower densities than Gisela. May produce root suckers. KRYMSK 6 (LC-52 Cv)(USPP #16114). Produces a tree roughly 100% of Mazzard, but much more precocious. Similar to other Krymsk, in that flower densities are less than other dwarfing cherry rootstocks, helping to balance out the crop load on the tree. May sucker.

15 HISTORY When Andy Gossman trekked west from Minnesota in 1905 to find the perfect place to grow fruit trees, he settled on the banks of Lake Chelan and the Columbia River - near where the Columbia and Okanogan Rivers met. Columbia and Okanogan Nursery (C & O) was the name he chose, and without hesitation he began planting trees for the fruit industry. Soon he convinced his nephew, Bert Snyder, to join him. Today, well into our fourth generation, C & O grows well over 1,000,000 trees on the treasured ground of the Columbia Basin -- providing them to growers throughout the nation. That s what we ve been, who we are, and what we will be: Always striving to provide the best in customer service, products and attitude. Andy Gossman Bert Snyder 2nd Generation Gene, John & Bob Snyder 15

19 PLANTING Step 1. Proper pruning is of first importance. One year whip should be pruned back to If central leader training is planned, it is important to head trees back to approximately 30. Step 2. Branched trees should not be pruned too severely, BUT DO NEED PRUNING. Cut back feathers approximately 1/2 to 2/3. Step 3. Planting hole should be large enough to spread out roots. Planting depth guidelines are as follows: Trees on Peach, Cot, Mazzard, Mahaleb or Myro Root bud union flush to ground level. Apple trees on EMLA rootstocks should be planted with the bud union 2 to 4 above ground level to insure that no scion rooting occurs. Also plant Cherry trees on Colt and Gisela rootstocks and Pear trees on Old Home x Farmingdale and Quince rootstocks with the bud union 2 to 4 above ground level. After receiving trees, but before planting, we recommend soaking the roots in fresh oxygenated water for 6-12 hours - NO LONGER as this may suffocate the new roots. During planting, use plenty of water and be sure soil is well worked in around roots so there are no air pockets. After planting the trees, we recommend using a mix of water and white latex paint on trunk up to 18 above ground to deter sunscald. TREE GROWTH TIP: If after a high majority of your trees have pushed (show obvious signs of growth), but there are still trees which are slow to start - we recommend going back through those "slow starters", and re-pruning the branches and tops of those trees. This should reinvigorate the tree, helping it to start within the next 2-3 weeks. Trees per Acre ORCHARD PLANTING CHART Space between rows of trees FEET Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft Ft

23 LEGAL NOTICE TO BUYER: EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF DAMAGES AND REMEDIES 1. What is covered by this warranty. C & O Nursery ( C & O ) warrants the nursery stock shipped to be in good, live condition; purchaser should examine shipment at once and if for any reason it is not satisfactory, notify C & O promptly by phone ( ). In case of apparent injury in transit, the carrier will be the responsible party. Therefore, purchaser must instruct delivering agent to note possible damage to goods on your copies of shipping papers in order to assist in filing a claim. C & O also warrants that the stock sold is true to name and is described within recognized tolerances. If any nursery stock is proven to be untrue to name, and C & O is so notified during the first fruiting season, C & O will, within a reasonable time, replace that part of the order without charge or, at customer s option, refund the purchase price. These remedies are purchaser s exclusive remedies for breach of this warranty and are in lieu of any remedy for consequential or incidental damages. WARRANTY IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR ORDERS LESS THAN 10 TREES OR FOR TREES PLANTED BETWEEN MAY 15 TO NOVEMBER What is NOT covered by this warranty. Nursery stock carries a State Dept. of Ag certificate that the plant materials have been inspected and are visibly free from injurious insects and plant diseases. C & O cannot assure detection of non-visible plant diseases, viruses or defects; therefore C & O does NOT warrant that the nursery stock is free from non-visible plant diseases, viruses or defects. C & O's scionwood is carefully selected from mature bearing trees. In spite of this effort, it is the nature of some varieties to be unstable in developing fruit color at harvest time. Environment and growing practices also affect color. Because of this, C & O CANNOT accept responsibility for fruit color, type, tree structure or other varietal defects.
