Has anyone grown or tasted the apple written about in the attached? Margaret http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6151010/800-year-old-apple-healthiest-to-eat.html
Since it has red flesh it is perhaps one of the crosses with purple-leaved crabapples. That might account for the different chemical properties from those of other orchard apples not having purple-leaved crabapple involvement in their background. One such hybrid grown and sold in our region has been traded as 'Red Flesh'. It does not seem to be well-adapted to our conditions. But there are others.
Thanks for the reply. There is certainly a strong resemblance in colour to the crab apple. I wonder if both apples share the same origin? Margaret
