Belmont

Belmont was planted in the islands as early as 1891 and we have located one tree still growing on the Coffelt Preserve on Orcas Island (and scions are available through our annual scion exchange and grafting workshops on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan). Named after Belmont County, Ohio, the variety actually originated in Strasburgh, Pennsylvania sometime prior to 1845. It is a late, medium sized yellow apple with an excellent flavor. It was likely not very widely planted in island commercial orchards because it does not ship well.
