Re: [MBZ] OT cider
Thanks for sharing that article. In a time when we are surrounded by youth who seem to only be focused on sub mediocrity it is refreshing to find not one, but two, who excel at an astounding level. I wonder why the "news media" didn't take a moment from reporting the Ferguson riot crowd to slip this refreshing tidbit into their reporting?

Re: [MBZ] OT cider
I thought I saw on some gardening show where you cut out the bigger branches in the middle of the tree so the outer branches then get more sun and the fruit does better.

Re: [MBZ] OT cider
There's an awesome apple tree in my front yard planted by a PO in 1982. Tree is not much to look at but the fruits are numerous and totally free of disease, although they look mottled and streaked red/black. Taste is tart-sweet, crisp skin, small sized. I went to applename.com and it seems to be a Virginia winesap. I made applesauce on the stove (cored but unpeeled) and then blended it in the Blendtec - voila - pink applesauce. :) Also, some apple-mint jelly that has deep flavor and is quite unusual (not sure I like it).
