I had two wonderful red fleshed apples in Birch Bay, Washington. We've moved to St. Helens, Oregon and I can't find any here. I'd love to replace them. Does anyone know where I might find these and which ones would be the most hardy for this area?

St. Helens, Oregon is in USDA hardiness zone 8, and Winter Red Flesh crabapple will grow well up to zone 9, and will grow well in your area with irrigation. This is a very attractive small tree, with bronze leaves, and lots of pink/purple flowers in spring.

If you want an actual apple rather than a crabapple, check out Pink Pearl (pink fleshed not red), good in low chill areas. Zone 8 isn't high chill, but its not exactly low chill either, so it might be worth trying Xmas Pearman or Grenadine, both with red flesh, though they do require cold winters.
