Peculiar. Two of the most consistently productive apple trees here are unknown seedlings. One is very close to the road, completely neglected and nearly run over by the plow each year. The apples are consistently large and unmarked. They are beautiful apples with a rosy blush on one side of most of them. They’re tasty too, crisp and light textured, mildly sweet. The other tree which is most often just covered with medium size lovely red, disease free apples. These apple are good too but they don’t keep well and get mealy quickly. When they are just picked and ripe the taste and texture is just great. We made vinegar, applesauce and apple butter this year, still an abundant supply leftover.
