Re: [nafex] Apple Recommendations

You might ask yourself where in the country and for what use.  If your 
talking pies or sauce, you might come up with a whole different list. 
Duchess makes a tart pie that's hard to beat.  Wealthy makes a pie with 
a subtle sweetness that is also hard to outdo.

If I was to add one favorite dessert apple, I'd add Garden Royal, a not 
very well know apple from Sudbury Mass about 1790. In a fall taste test 
we had a year ago it came in second to Cox, and almost beat it out. It 
was widely grown until the advent of commercial orcharding. Not a 
commercial variety. I'd also have to "second" Cox's Orange Pippin, 
Hudson's Golden Gem and Ashmead's Kernal.
