SPOT THE RINGER

I am delighted to have these four different apples from the Midwest Apple Improvement Association. Specifically, from David Doud in Indiana. ¶ 

Three of these are modern MAIA apples. One of those has been trademarked, so presumably has progressed from development to production. But the fourth was created by a much older fruit-breeding program in 1899.

Can you spot it? Bonus points for picking out the MAIA apple that is patented, trademarked, and in production.

If you have a large screen, click on the photo for a closer look.

David is a MAIA founder and board member. He grows apples on his Countyline Farm, about 60 miles north of Indianapolis.

As for the apples, stay tuned!
