the surviving grafts have given fruit
one is a small russet eater, the dormouse genes iirc, crisp, deep flavour, a bit rhino skinned
the other is a big, fluffy type, good flavour, sweet, nice eater, probably ideal for fast cook as well
both are no names so far, the folk at "apple world" did not know from MK1 eyeball of tree and fruit
if i can keep them going, i might pay for dna testing to see if they are listed
both are nice and should be preserved if possible
tt brought me a tom putts from one of the trees i have nursed a little
smallish crops this year, in size and numbers, good quality though
they are commercially available and a good tree for kitchen orchards so i have not tried grafting those (and the nursed ones will probably outlast me)
commercial apples as found in most shops are a shameful exercise in marketing and logistics rather than splendid fruit |
