Pomona

Thank you, Ken!

That P.L. site is dreadful to behold, even if the apple is good.

I'm going to ring up A.S. and get an Antique Sampler box.
 
Jeff, the stores around here (both versions of "here" that apply to me) are overflowing -- I very nearly mean that literally -- with dozens and dozens of varieties. The flow is nonstop. So I can't imagine they're not available in NYC.

I believe that I may, based on the old adage, be turning into an apple any day now.
 
I've seen a good assortment at the green markets but not the antique ones.

But, maybe I'll go again on Saturday to the big market at Union Square and check again.

A million words of praise. This thread is just brilliant. The descriptions of the apples are fascinating (admittedly, it's my favorite fruit; I eat one every day at lunch; though I am less damning against the Pink Lady than its horrible marketing would make it; prefer them smaller, but it's the firm, non-grainy flesh and good acidity that I like). I only wish I could order the heirloom sampler, as welland am stricken that you're pulling up your trees.

That explains a lot about your love for oxidized champagne! As my fairly lukewarm attitude towards apples may explain my reactions to the same wines. (Although I don't know if your champagne tastes have shifted recently).

How come you have to rip out the trees?

They take up too much time. I'm trying to get a mead operation going. I have an acre or so of cherry trees from last year's grafting that are going in up in Traverse City. The cherries that pop up in Putnam's flash banner are mine. I hope to get enough scion wood from my cherry trees this year to get up to five acres. If I'm going to become a mead maker, decisions have to be made.
