Many friends and others have told me of the recent New York Times story about a striking collection of apple photos. In “Odd Apples,” William Mullan chronicles — and idealizes — rare varieties of the fruit. https://t.co/68HR0xBDxY — Civil Eats (@CivilEats) January 9, 2019 The photos are by William Mullan, who got most, and perhaps all, of his apples from the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan.
NEW APPLE This new Honeycrisp x Braeburn cross is emerging from the development stage (grafting and planting trees) to retail (enough fruit-bearing trees to bring apples to market). Its saturated blush is a deep crimson—darker in person than in my photo.
SOME RECENT STORIES OF THE POMACIOUS FRUIT Today's report just shares some recent stories about apples. . @Kazakhstan 's treasure trove of wildly-flavored #apples - via @BBC https://t.co/RliX6RuZid #Almaty #VisitKZ #travel #TravelTuesday pic.twitter.com/J9B5btFM3C — KazakhWorld (@KazakhWorld) November 21, 2017 I learned about some of these from my readers. So, not exactly news to everyone. But, enjoy.
With this, my tenth new year's message, I send my very best wishes for the year to come. I cannot, however, help but share a troubling statistic with you. This year I only found three apples to add to my opinionated catalog . Apple Reviews by Year 2008–18 Year published refers to the year of the canonical review, which in a few cases is later than an earlier review of the same variety; such earlier reviews are not included. I find it hard to imagine what this blog would be without new apples to sample and share.
