awwww so much nicer to drool over these apples, as opposed to fretting over potential earthquakes and real fault lines :)

Seriously, Jonagold and Gala are my two favorites, and I miss them terribly! I cannot find a good apple here in Mexico. I did not know that so many varieties were a cross with Golden Delicious, and I love the story of how they came to be. That photo of the cordoned off apple tree is awesome!

Thank you so much for another great "apple" post. You must really love apples? or most fruit? or just interested in their heritage?
