Apple - Daliclass
08 Feb 2025 Mark, BEDFORD UKyes, noticeably good for 'doctor away' apple eater. pack of four, first three top notch. is it my imaginaion or was the last of four a little watery? Gives my all-time favourite New Zealand braeburn a real competitor. A big plus is that it cane to me in the UK from Kent rather NZ; carbon footprint winner. However I prefer buying apples loose not in unnecessary plastic packaging as these were. Bought from Morrisons Bedford - cos they had a braeburny appearance, and crucially, were the exacxt size I like not too big not to smallCherry - sour - Jubileum
01 Feb 2025 Steve Tuit, GRAND RAPIDS, MIThese grow well here in West Michigan, with our sandy soil and somewhat more moderate climate from Lake Michigan. In my opinion, Jubileum are the best of the "dark tarts" (which have traits of both sweet cherries and tart cherries). We use them in pies, for jam, and for eating fresh. I have one tree which has not yet born a crop, but it is growing well.Apple - Red June
29 Jan 2025 Rosanne Rogers, FAIRFIELD, IOWAI loved the apple and had growing up. Are there any trees still available for planting?Apple - Rockit
29 Jan 2025 Barbara, RAGLAN, WAIKATOThe best NZ apple tasted so far: crispy, juicy, tasty- a nice size too.Apple - Pink Lady
28 Jan 2025 PaulMy new favorite. I like tartness, crispness, juiciness, intense flavors, and enough sweetness so that my girlfriend will like them too. The Pink Ladies check all the boxes. I'm amazed by the official article that experts find it lacking in flavor compared to Jazz apples. I've never had the latter ... I'll have to look for them.
