The Apple Whisperer

It's worth your time to read this article, about John Bunker, apple detective

Today's to-do list includes laundry, bill paying and writing.  I'm gunning for 50,000 words and a eureka! May get the words, but eurekas are harder.

Hope everybody has a good and fulfilling day.

apples

Over here in the UK we have similar old trees - and the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) runs an identification service. Strange to not see two of the more popular ones over here on the list - Bramley (best cooking apple) and Cox (Cox's orange pippin). Some varieties seem to have gone global some not. We do get Granny Smith's , Braeburn and Golden Delicious and Gala. Sometimes but rarely Red delicious. Could give another long list of semi-forgotten UK varieties, but we never lost our hard cider producers.
