Limbertwig Apples!

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

The apple varieties in this group all have a distinctive "weeping" tree form and a similar flavor. Most, if not all, originated in the southeastern United States.

They are great eating! More great tastes to try!
