	I have one of these trees in my garden (it's only 3 years old however), and for the first time, it produced no fruit at all. From last year, I remember the fruit being very tasty indeed, quite crisp though not as sweet as perhaps others have found it. When juiced, it was delicious also. The blossom, being a delightful pinkish red, lit up the garden too.

	That`s very interesting indeed - hopefully this variety will get some wider recognition. Apples like these use to enrich local markets. I use to grow another red fleshed apple named "Roter Mond" which means'Red Moon'. This one seems to origin from russia as it`s told it got selected by well known breeder mr. Mitschurin decades ago.

	That's an amazing story, Mark! I have never 'met' anyone who's actually named a fruit variety. Bundy's Ringwood Red must be a beautiful apple. It's one I have craved to grow for a long time, but as I live in Australia the chance of ever obtaining one are remote. It's a frustrating situation! Plants are almost impossible to bring into this country, though seeds are fine.

	I can tell you all about this apple as I found it and named it! It is indeed from Ringwood in the south of England. I worked for a friend of the family as a gardener and whilst clearing a rather large plot of land I came across a very old and established apple tree, some 18" or so around. I beleive it was mid Sept so apples where abound. The apple is sumwhat interesting as it is small and a very deep red, once bitten into I found the flesh also a deep red and very sweet to taste. Unfortunately Donald past away and I felt it rather fitting to find out about the tree that got us so intreagued, I went to several apple growers who could not identify the apple, so one grower did quite considerable research but came up with nothing other than they wanted some, so i gathered many sticks which I beleive were grafted to other stocks. I now had to name the newly found spicies, my friends name was Donald Bundy! Hence - "Bundy's Ringwood Red"
