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. Jacky King

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.
