Light flavor. Maybe I can get a boxful next summer now that I've located a source within driving distance. In the meantime, I will try again to graft Nutting Bumpus, which is reputed across the country as a bit sweeter & one zone less hardy than D/O.Nutting Bumpushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998222727132609240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-89324746469872113522020-09-28T13:06:11.318-04:002020-09-28T13:06:11.318-04:00FYI "Nutting Bumpus" was DNA tested in 2...FYI "Nutting Bumpus" was DNA tested in 2019 and proven to be identical to Duchess of Oldenburg and not a separate variety.

It is both my fruit comment moniker & a seedling of D/O, looking & acting much like its seed parent with greater sweetness (or less acid). I grafted Nutting Bumpus this year for my yard & will report in the fullness of time about it.Nutting Bumpushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998222727132609240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-44902406740313603532013-01-28T09:28:50.408-05:002013-01-28T09:28:50.408-05:00That's what they say!
