I'll keep that in mind, though it doesn't seem a good match with <a href="http://www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/full.php?id=5234&&fruit=Apple" rel="nofollow">this description of Reinette du Canada.</a><br /><br />My provisional theory is that this was a mislabeled <a href="http://adamapples.blogspot.com/2009/10/roxbury-russet.html" rel="nofollow">Roxbury Russet,</a> which this unreliable grower has sold (or purported to) in the past. <br /><br />Of course, it could have been a Golden Russet past its prime or otherwise not a good example.<br /><br />I've had better examples of both.<br /><br />It is unfortunately not unusual for growers to be careless about identifying what they sell.<br /><br />Maybe someday I will get to taste an indisputable Reinette du C and see for myself.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-77158930113554771202011-07-06T06:54:10.555-04:002011-07-06T06:54:10.555-04:00Reinette du Canada ?
