Re: [nafex] Re: Are your plants working for you? AKA, Ruthless culling
Swaar is a decent apple in a cool climate and it keeps like iron, but it
looks lousy. The sugar-acid balance is decent here and it's a very
acceptible apple if you don't look at the very rough coat. Like so many
fruits, it needs a specific climate to do well.
