The Ryan Red has by far the best flavor. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Apple-Crop Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 6:49 PM Subject: Re: Apple-Crop: Strains of Red Delicious
Hi David- I would plant Cameo as a replacement. It has the old fashioned flavor that your talking about. Out North Jersery PYO operators cannot plant enough of it.

We were head over heels with Red Delicious in the 1960's and 1970's. Over the years I yanked them out and replaced them with new varieties. Now my local and asian customers are clamoring for more than I have now. We've had Starkrimson, Red Chief and It. I have not been enamored with any of them in terms of taste. As those of you over 50 years old can remember, - "Old Fashioned Delicious" was sweet , palatable and tasteful. That is the Delicious we desire, - and many customers have echoed that request. Has anyone an opinion on the which strains of Red Delicious have the best flavor? Thank you. And the best growing season to all in 2007. David Barclay 169 County Rd.
