Apple - Royal Gala
27 Nov 2024 Tom Donald, GLASGOW, SCOTLANDRoyal Gala can be a superb supermarket apple, with an exceptionally crisp bite and a slightly mild but pleasant flavour. Not too sweet!Apple - Opal (Seabrook)
26 Nov 2024 Abbey, CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOMI received this apple in a fruit box which our office get every week. The apple was okay, nothing to write home about. I would prefer a Pink Lady or perhaps a Gala apple over this one. I would not reach for this again. I think I am slightly put off by the yellow-nessApple - Christmas Pearmain
22 Nov 2024 Gavin Maclennan, ROCHESTER, KENT, ME1 3AF, ENGLANDVery handsome apple with a surprisingly complex flavour. As for 'not being very attractive by today's standards', who cares? 'Today's standards are designed to appeal to children and infantilized adults. Christmas Pearmain has real character, as do many of the traditional varieties.Apple - Reinette Russet

16 Nov 2024 Bruce Wallace, Westminster w, VTBeautiful big dark mottled apple, keeps well, solid flesh, does not have a strong flavor
