Im eating one as we speak, and it tastes exceedingly good. It tastes similar to the maiden blush at this point. Perfect blend of sweet and tart, with a bit more tart. This is a great late winter Apple. It has a naturally waxy skin, which has not even a slight wrinkle, even though stored in a common refrigerator. Everything else in my fridge has some wrinkles, except these. This is a huge asset for organic orchardists who cannot use LAC wax resin to preserve the texture/storage life. I have seeds of this started, and am going to propagate this Apple big time, and begin a breeding program with it this spring. That is how good this Apple is.Hawk Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931067529533766643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-38121219217562258032012-01-10T10:49:03.878-05:002012-01-10T10:49:03.878-05:00I am always up for something different, though pro...I am always up for something different, though probably your Late Lemon is not going to appeal to the Honeycrisp crowd.<br /><br />Probably loaded with Vitamin C and other good stuff.<br /><br />By the way I think of "spitters" as being totally inedible--not so much an acquired taste as an unendurable one.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-83500126099868265912012-01-09T01:32:30.217-05:002012-01-09T01:32:30.217-05:00Excuse me, but I meant: the apples were green thro...Excuse me, but I meant: the apples were green throughout the season due to shading...and turned YELLOW once the tree defoliated. Late lemon stores very well, had one last week. I think it is a promising variety for hard and sweet cider makers. Apples tend to mellow their acidity in storage as Adam mentioned....this has such a uniqe but strong and satisfying blends of acids...this is definitely the queen of the "spitters" or sour seedling apples grown primarily for alcoholic fermentation....if you like strong acidic apples I will mail anyone scion wood in march who is willing to try the Late Lemon! Ripens early November..hangs almost indefinitely.Hawk Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931067529533766643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-65107238451582109712012-01-09T01:25:52.396-05:002012-01-09T01:25:52.396-05:00It is Sharp as a razor right when picking.

It will really make you puckered up, in a pleasant way. <br /><br />I found a wild or forgotten seedling with even sharper flavor. It's near whear where I get cider....about November 18 when picked. the apples were green because of shading, but turned green before I picked after the tree defoliated. Not identified as a known cultivar...so I'm calling it Late lemon....as it lasts late into the season and has an opaque yellow color...and oh yeah...is NOT for the faint of heart. Possibly the sharpest table worthy Apple I've ever eaten. Would be amazing to sporadically mix a few pounds of late lemon into a batch of acid-lacking cider. Propagating soon!Hawk Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931067529533766643noreply@blogger.com
