Why it grows at Kotgarh
Delicious-type apples need about 1,000 hours or more of winter cold to flower evenly, and cool nights to colour. Kotgarh at around 2,000 m has both.
Apple is a native fit at Kotgarh (100/100). Every factor lines up, which is why we grow it here.
What can go wrong
Hail in spring (orchard netted)
Scab in wet springs
Too few chill hours in a warm winter
