I just now came upon this page, and started to write a comment. Then discovered that I already had, almost five years ago. But that was only a few hours after I had found out. At that time my parents were still alive, but just enough into dementia to not be able to learn much from them. But apparently my father and one of my brothers ( born in '58, so would not be expected to remember) had gone looking for that tree, not all that long ago (I think maybe 2011?). It was all grown up into Douglas fir. Fortunately, Kimzey had gotten there in time....<br /> I don't remember the apples at all, but a YOUNGER sister said "I remember those apples!". And just now, looking over previous comments, I see she has commented here ("Unknown" little girl from Airlie, on November 6 2019). Except she is wrong about her brothers remembering.---I don't remember, and my two brothers were born in '58 and '63....<br /> My friend at whose house I made that discovery (as well as another friend in a nearby town) each obtained and planted an "Airlie Red Flesh", or "Hidden Rose". <br /> I came upon this page (for the second time) today while web-surfing. I have just finished a novel that featured old apple varieties (including a fictitious one featured in the book), which led me to that web-surfing. Others might enjoy it: “North Woods” by Daniel Mason. <br />ALNorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039349067568694324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-29595362850620464712019-11-07T21:50:31.354-05:002019-11-07T21:50:31.354-05:00@unknown little girl from Arlie: I think theses ar...@unknown little girl from Arlie: I think theses are enjoying renewed attention today.

My father liked to walk toward the Newell's to show us and visitors the amazing apple with the red inside! I thought it was on our property, but I was a very little girl,not quite 6 when we moved away! My brothers and sisters always remember that apple,and I would wonder what it was! <br /> So happy it is still available! My older brother saw it described in a recent book on heirloom apples.

I was floored, and immediately contacted my siblings and parents---we lived next door to the Newells, 1956-1961. My sister Dorothy just now emailed me that she remembers they had a tree with red-fleshed apples behind their barn. We moved away when I was 9, and their house burned down some time later.

Airlie is a little place. Looking for it on a Rand-McNally atlas it appears to be little more than a rural post office about 20 miles NNW of Corvallis, Oregon. Distinctive name and apple. I will try grafting it here at home and see how it does with near-desert conditions and 2100 chill hours (degrees between 32 and 46 F.) <br />Two other red-fleshed apples do well here: Redfield and Winekist. Redfield bloom is stunning and Winekist fruit is beet red inside. Neither keep more than a few weeks, so Airlie's keeping quality is welcome.Nutting Bumpushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998222727132609240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-35288000967759593572016-10-13T13:06:02.449-04:002016-10-13T13:06:02.449-04:00No it is just what I have heard from some people w...No it is just what I have heard from some people who grow them.Grimodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200167326418746406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-7895811911638557572016-10-06T10:42:52.768-04:002016-10-06T10:42:52.768-04:00Francois, the story of this apple's discovery ...Francois, the story of this apple's discovery in Oregon is pretty well established in the U.S. If the truth is otherwise I would love to correct the record.<br /><br />Can you provide any references that document the French connection?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-35719962696675070612016-09-30T14:09:08.373-04:002016-09-30T14:09:08.373-04:00I understand they were originally from France.

I'm not sure what they did. The confusion of names is unfortunate, but then so is paying in perpetuity for using a name. Patents expire, but trademarks are forever as long as the owner enforces them. It would be nice if these apples had good un-trademarked names that growers who aren't trying to exploit them could use (presumably most of them) so we all know what we're talking about. I haven't tasted that fruit punch flavor in any but the red fleshed apples. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try Hidden Rose yet. Too bad about that name though. It's a good name. Is Mountain Rose trademarked?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
