So cool this very old New England apple is "common" in the San Juans. And I see you have the Roz (Roxbury), which some peg as THE oldest.

Or maybe not...? There's a reason why some of these old varieties are no longer grown much.

Apple 'Gibbon's Russet'. Not very russety. Not very flavourful. A hint of melon, not much acid, not much sugar either. Dry and mealy too. I think I left this one on the tree a bit too long. Maybe next year it will impress me more.

Oh missed that. Ignominious, in the province of their origin! Tho it occurs to me. Did John McIntosh pronounce it "MACintosh"? Is that Canada-Scott?

The orchard’s really been popping this year, so I thought I’d post a few pictures of what’s in, in case there be apple admirers among you.

Johnny's been around so long he's in the public domain. From at least 1862. That predates AI.

Goldparmäne. King of the Pippins in English, Reine des Reinettes in French, I love this apple. Makes a damn good cider too. Despite what the illustrator wrote, it’s originally French, and apparently has been around since at least 1510. A very old variety.

That makes sense. I will put something together in the next couple of weeks, including a template for apple descriptions so they are consistent, and then I can recruit fellow apple nerds to assist.

Bike lanes arguably do more to protect pedestrians than they protect cyclists. (Shorter crossing distances, better visibility, traffic-calming effect etc)
