It is tempting to check all the disease resistance options, but we recommend caution as doing so will greatly limit the varieties available to you. Instead only select the diseases you know are an issue in your area, and note also that 'disease-resistant' does not mean 'disease-proof'. Serious disease problems are fortunately quite rare in the home or community orchard situation.
