OK, on that part we're in full agreement. One of my biggest regrets of modern food stores is the complete disappearance of local and more specialist apples - my personal favourites haven't been around for years. Which leaves few options for those without space for a dozen varieties.
- Jedd 8y agoI'd love to have more, but they're tricky in my climate (too hot and dry), and in Australia there's about 200-300 varieties only AFAIK. If you're in / next time you are in the UK, be sure to get out to Brogdale - they have apple and cherry and cider festivals, with an astounding number of varieties (only two of each tree though). It is profoundly sad that it's such a painful process to get varieties through quarantine and into Australia - I tried a Braddick's Nonpareil there one time - my instant favourite apple ever. May be similar to a Sturmer Pippin (which is available in AU).
