"We Are Living in a Golden Age of Apples"
October 30, 2024
Three things I learned from this interesting article:
--The "apple" in the Garden of Eden story was almost surely not an apple. Maybe a fig, maybe a peach, maybe something else.
--My favorite type, Honeycrisp, divides the apple world into "Before Honeycrisp" and "After Honeycrisp" and is currently the third most produced variety in the U.S.
--There is an even newer variety, in addition to Honeycrisp and Cosmic Crisp (my wife's favorite), Evercrisp.
