Gone by the following week. Crispy, sweet and juicy. A somewhat unique taste - perhaps a little flowery, though I don't have a sensitive enough palate to say more than that. Liked it though. I'll buy some again next time I see them. [I love that I can look up new-to-me apples and see what folks have said about them.

It was bland, not tart enough for me, and had a kind of chemically flavor to me. I think its the same flavor Mike mentioned in his comment. At least it was crisp, better than being mealy.

We've been doing lots and lots of apple taste tests with the family lately, and this one is the top choice by many if not most and is never outside of the top two or three. Other favorites have been Envy, Juici, Cosmic Crisp, Lucy Glo, Pink Lady, and the good old Fuji. I'm thrilled with any of those, but the Autumn Glory is my favorite.Markashieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683741512817234155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-90564628999391616892015-07-22T19:38:07.928-04:002015-07-22T19:38:07.928-04:00@Nicole, kudos for growing apples from seed, a nob...@Nicole, kudos for growing apples from seed, a noble pursuit. However, don't be surprised if your Autumn Glory seeds bear something that isn't Autumn Glory.<br /><br />Apples do not breed true, which is why single varieties are propagated by grafting.<br /><br />You may get something close, you may (alas) get something nasty. You <em>may</em> get the next great apple sensation. If so, let us know!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-78543546881670997832015-07-22T12:52:57.420-04:002015-07-22T12:52:57.420-04:00Bought some and found this is my family's favo...Bought some and found this is my family's favorite apple along with fuji, gala, and honeycrisp apples. We have each of those trees in our yard still under 2 yrs old. We bought a bunch of these apples and a germination kit. One apple (autumn glory) had seeds that had started germinating...So I put them in the seed kit. Out of all the apples seeds only one came up and is growing great! Now we can have this apple in our own back yard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17829455024521878411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-44922874959066038702015-02-21T18:53:50.042-05:002015-02-21T18:53:50.042-05:00Just sampled my first Autumn Glory from a purchase...Just sampled my first Autumn Glory from a purchase at Fred Meyers.

That being said, I can see them being very good right off the tree. My grandfather had a lot of fruit trees and the apples I liked best were the ones straight from the tree. I know that they need time to develop their individual tastes and aromas after harvest, but I just love the fresh-picked flavour best. <br />Which is why I got that 6-way espalier - it's nearly impossible to find harvest-fresh apples these days.<br />(PS - I figured out how to put in my name instead of posting as Anonymous)Karinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-58170188122050048602015-02-11T15:08:14.228-05:002015-02-11T15:08:14.228-05:00@anon, gotta say: there is nothing soft about a fr...@anon, gotta say: there is nothing soft about a fresh Mac in season!

First time I've seen them here in Canada (Lower Mainland) and had to try them. The crisp Fuji parentage comes through nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed them. However, there was no hint of cinnamon in the taste or aroma, which was a little disappointing but not surprising given today's marketing tactics. I like apples as long as they are crisp and juicy, no matter if they're tart or sweet. I draw the line at soft apples, like the Mac.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-80341030761873760302015-01-31T16:48:52.536-05:002015-01-31T16:48:52.536-05:00Mike, I'd be really surprised if anyone was se...Mike, I'd be really surprised if anyone was selling perfumed apples.

Enough so that I even started to wonder if the apple had been chemically adulterated. I don't typically like perfume-scented food, so I was not terribly impressed. And I do like my apples tart. This is not my apple. Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009358125260665464noreply@blogger.com
