Default Northern Fruit trees - Spring Planting

I'm looking at this website as a source for apple, pear & plum trees this spring.

So for it seems like a good fit for my area -

Dan 0. - You sent me a suggestion for a plum variety earlier this year - was it "Northern Blue"? I'm curious too what you think of the nursery from their website. I hunt a farm in Potsdam where it is each Fall - I think I'm going to place some apple tree & plum tree orders real soon - but hoped you might let me know what you thought?

For Apples I'm looking at possibilities including - Cortland, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Baldwin and for fun - Pound sweet or 20 oz. Also maybe some "odd" heirloom type apple varieties.

I have about an 1-2 acres next to the cabin I'm slowly making into an orchard. This is a 5 year project I'm just starting now that I've got my Conifer windbreak plantings done.

I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts on cold weather Fruit varieties too.

Thanks
Sean
