Re: [apple-crop] Apple Variety Descriptions
You might be interested in the list of descriptors on the Apple Identification web site of the Seattle Tree Fruit Society/ Western Cascade Fruit Society. http://www.seattletreefruitsociety.com/appleid.php These are aimed at helping people to identify the unknown apple varieties they may have in their yards and farms. May be too complex for your purpose but will give some idea of the possible variables.

Sweet, Tart, Hard, etc don't seem to cut it anymore but when I try to describe them, I get too complicated. I'm curious as to what descriptors you all are using. Needs to be simple, yet descriptive and understandable to the general public. Thanks for any feedback.

Re: [apple-crop] Apple Variety Descriptions
The best description is name recognition.. Pepsi, coke, Frito-Lay and others are bombarding us with commercials so they can succeed in imprinting their brand in our brains.. SAMS Club is using taste testing to do the same.. you can send flyers with pictures of the apples or for each week feature a variety where you set up a nice display, have some caramel apples made from the same variety, have some taste testing (pay attention to food safety), Have customers take one fruit home, or anything else that teaches the customer about the variety.. It is a lot of work, but that's how the big companies do it..
