Owner's comments

These apples tend to crop heavily one year and then lightly the next year. They cook up well for pies and crumbles and are also good for baked apples. They are also good to eat as they are when fully ripened. They also make an excellent jellies and juice. I am hoping to store my remaining crop in boxes to use throughout the year as I am running out of space in the freezer/cupboards and friends to pass them on to!
