    Not that big into them, I worked in an orchard during my teen years. Best skill i learnt was juggling. But pink ladies then were only grown in the south west. I feel there was a trade agreement that allowed them to be grown elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cripps_Pink

      Well props to you guys for that apple, it is one of my absolute favorites. Right up there with honeycrisp. I don’t super care about apples in general, but there are so many damn overhyped apples coming out these days (looking at you, Cosmic Crisp) that I started to develop a disdain for apples in general, which made finding the Frange rating scale quite cathartic.

        You can find good ones. But it does feel we go for gross weight over quality these days. If you have never tried one nashi pears (south east asian pear or pear apple) are phenominal. Basically what you want a pear and an apple to taste like.
