Have planted 3 apple tress, two Hidden Rose,. I am very excited about the Roma.-"juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Roma an outstanding variety of top quality" and a Duchess-"A round above-medium-sized apple with pale yellow skin almost entirely covered with irregular stripes and splashes of bright red. Yellowish flesh, crisp, tender, juicy, brisk and sprightly - suitable for eating when ripe, but excellent for cooking throughout August and September. " Can hardly wait, but we will have to wait -several years at least, to enoy some.
