Visitor reviews
- 20 Jun 2012 Pamela HughesNOVA SCOTIA, CanadaI used to enjoy July Red apples in Ontario as a child. (OK 30 + years ago) Last year in Nova Scotia I saw some apples called July Red and pounced on them! However, they did not have the same taste at all. I was very disappointed. Would you have any kind of explanation for the difference?
